Compress every block to be written on the tape using bzlib library. This
option will work only when dumping to a file or pipe or, when dumping
end of dump,
tape write error,
tape open error or
-disk read error (if there is more than a threshold of 32).
+disk read error (if there is more than a threshold of nr errors).
In addition to alerting all operators implied by the
.Fl n
key,
It might be considered a bug that this version of dump can only handle ext2
filesystems. Specifically, it does not work with FAT filesystems.

read errors is important, the output from dump can be parsed to look for lines
that contain the text 'read error'.
