+8.     Added the -m parameter to dump which optimises the output for
+       inodes having been changed but not modified since the last dump
+       ('changed' and 'modified' have the meaning defined in stat(2)).
+       For those inodes, dump will save only the metadata, instead of
+       saving the entire inode contents. Inodes which are either 
+       directories or have been modified since the last dump are saved
+       in a regular way.  Uses of this flag must be consistent, meaning
+       that either every dump in an incremental dump set have the flag,
+       or no one has it.
