Perhaps /home is not a mountpoint?

Just for completeness, what is the output from:
Code:
mount|grep "/home"

Code:
df -k /home

The "dump" program will not update /etc/dumpdates unless you are backing up a mountpoint.

thanks methyl for ur completeness replay
the command u mentiond didnt output anything
and the df -k dont show the home under it !

Which means that /home was not a mountpoint. This is why "dump" would not let you try to update the "dumpdates" file.
QED.
