*Careful* -- this one can erupt quickly! The canonical answer is use what works in your testing and what makes you comfortable. Some people have noticed that the combination of certain versions of dump combined with the 2.4 kernel series leads to random, frequent data timeouts. Those that switched to tar saw that problem go away. It may be better with current versions of dump -- I wouldn't know, though. So, again, do some testing, see what works, and use that. Good luck. -- Joshua Baker-LePain Department of Biomedical Engineering Duke University
