I have a script for automating it, and it usually seems to work, but not today! Silent failures/corruptions do not make me comfortable, especially coming from my backup tools (yes, no errors seen in log). System seems to work, but it won't shutdown! syncher spits out random numbers for 10 minutes or more then panics. Should I start over? Why didn't dump/restore unambiguously copy my working disk to my new one? I didn't see any expicit errors... Also, X won't start, complaining about inability to write something for the keymap into /tmp; probably part of the same problem. Stranger still, an rsync -n from one disk to the other seems to agree that the two match! Thanks, Steve
