DUMP: 99.99% done, finished soon I suspect an integer overflow somewhere, but this is highly unusual asI've seen many posts in various archives where the exact command syntax I had was used, and it showed positive tape block calculations and real percentages. This filesystem is only 17GB, with 4.1GB used (as I said earlier). -Dan -- Dan Ponte http://www.theamigan.net/ An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it. -- James Michener, "Space" _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
