> Is dump reading substantially more than restore is writing?
Quite possibly, esp. if the source disk is nowhere near full and/or most of the files being handled are small. dump reads every inode on the disk, including those which are unallocated, and probably reads entire data blocks -- or even entire FS blocks -- even when only part of the block contains useful data. Restore writes only what it has to. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
