Description ue 2003-06-15 10:30:11 UTC 
The dump frequency and fsck pass columns in the /etc/fstab of a freshly
installed FreeBSD system will always be identical because the code in
sysinstall/config.c hardcodes that.  This make the periodic "dump these
file systems" report rather useless, because it insists on dumping the
root fs every day and every other file system every two days.

Fix: WARNING: Untested.  It compiles, but that is about it.

The numbers I choose (7 days for /home, 28 days for static stuff)
are what I use on my boxes, they are perfect bikeshed material.
How-To-Repeat: Install a FreeBSD system for the first time and look into /etc/fstab
