Hmm, I can't reproduce this at all; I use dump and restore quite regularly in this way, and I have never encountered this issue (except for the occasional 'expected file NNN, got file MMM', which is usually harmless). Maybe the dump output gets corrupted in some way? (E.g. faulty RAM, or disk?) If you are dumping a live filesystem, could it possibly help to add the -L option? _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
