I had none, either, but the filesystem was dumped into a file as a whole, leading to a huge file, same with tar. The problem only occurs as holding-disk is used. Continuously writing a stream of unlimited size to a tape is no problem, but as soon as you try to do this onto a filesytem, you run in whatever limits you have, mostly 2GB-limits on a single file. No holding-disk -> no big file -> no problem. (well, tape might have to stop more often because of interruption in data-flow) Regards, Adrian Reyer -- Adrian Reyer Fon: +49 (7 11) 2 85 19 05 LiHAS - Servicebuero Suttgart Fax: +49 (7 11) 5 78 06 92 Adrian Reyer & Joerg Henner GbR Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux, Netzwerke, Consulting & Support http://lihas.de/
