Do you think it would be possible > to add support for optionally building dump(8) images instead of dd? What do you mean by that, exactly? It would be relatively easy to add a step that runs dump on the _.disk.image file and squirrel that away. Last orders the code currently calls it, I believe. Is it something as simple as this, or is there some more complexity that I'm failing to understand or grasp? WarnerReceived on Sat Apr 23 2016 - 17:47:55 UTC
