Will dump work with disks over 2Gb?



With the latest version of dump, I tried to backup my new 4.5Gb disk to DAT
tape:

linda# /sbin/dump 0nufB /dev/st0 1365000 /usr1
  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Dec  4 22:46:30 1997
  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch

dump worked fine on the other three partitions.
