When dump is used to dump an ext4 partition for instance, it segfaults: e.g. dump -0f file.dump /dev/sda2 produces a segfault after a few bytes written. Downgrading cauldron to mga5 dump and rmt packages (dump-0.4b44-7.mga5) would work.
Would help to get a stack trace with debuginfo installed and also to report this upstream. Sorry for the regression :o( We could also check Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora for patches, as they've all updated to this version.

Ok, the segfault with debug is this: (gdb) DUMP: SIGSEGV: ABORTING! bt #0 0x00007ffff6e072e0 in wait () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x00000000004080ba in startnewtape (top=top@entry=1) at tape.c:813 #2 0x0000000000404111 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=0x7fffffffdae8) at main.c:932 (gdb)
Sound this is also bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1365124 and https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1366133
I just submitted a package with merged patches.
The fixed version no longer segfaults. E.g. you can try this test/benchmark (where in this case /dev/sda2 is an ext4 partition): dump -0f - /dev/sda2 2>&1> /dev/null | grep "Average transfer"
Closing then as the package has landed
