You're probably thinking of this message from Linus in 2001:

http://groups.google.com/group/mlist.linux.kernel/msg/660b7d5e92dd7eb7

The soundbite version is this:

"Note that dump simply won't work reliably at all even in 2.4.x...
This is only going to get even worse in 2.5.x... Dump was a stupid
program in the first place. Leave it behind."
