Subject: dump/restore not supported for ext4

Hi,

I should have researched it more:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=511651
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/universe-bugs/2009-June/098729.html

Looks like it's broken, I agree with the reporters, dump should abort if 
it is dealing with an ext4 filesystem, since you cannot restore data from 
an ext4 dump.

Justin.
