I am building my process for backup / restore using dump & restore.

Looking at the FAQ when restoring the file system, I noticed:

newfs /dev/r[drive][partition] 

for example:
newfs /dev/rwd0a

What is the 'r' before the wd0a and its purpose?

i.e. difference and thier affect on new file system in the examples:

newfs /dev/rwd0a 
and
newfs /dev/wd0a

Thanks!
