Hello@ALL

13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #0 r357959

if the /usr Diskspace is over 90% on a SSD of 500GB
the dump tool crashes with:

/usr/src/sbin/dump/traverse.c Error Line..

if Dumps a stored to /usb

After remove of 50% date dump goes on running
My question is why is there no information at the manpage
where dump uses a temp folder to outsource the data for seconds?

would it be a good idea to implement a diskspace check if dump starts
and i could echo disk over XX% dump cant save?

regards + stay healthy
