I've just been bitten by a 'feature' whereby All doesn't see any filesystems in vfstab after a line that is one field shorter than it should be. As far as I can see, it didn't warn me about this, it just backed up a partial list of filesystems. This is scarey because I (used to rely) on All to make sure I backed up everything I should be backing up on machines that are managed
by other groups within our school.
OK, so it shows mer that my checking isn't good enough, but it would be much better if it generated an error when it parsed vfstab!!
