I followed a simple script and I am having troubles.
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Dump all file systems
#
TAPE=/dev/nsa0
DUMP="/sbin/dump 0uaf $TAPE"
mt -f $TAPE rew
for fs in / /usr /var /home; do
$DUMP $fs
done
mt -f $TAPE rew
---------------------------------

this works (I think) but when I try to restore, all I can seem
to get are the primary directories! (nothing under /usr for example).

If I just dump one slice (like /home) - I dont have this problem.

For example:
# restore -ivf /dev/nsa0

restore > ls
.:
     2 ./              20480 dev/            20495 modules/
     2 ../             20491 dist/           20490 proc/
20775 .cshrc              6 etc/            20496 root/
20778 .profile        20483 home/              25 sbin/
   111 COPYRIGHT          28 install@        20484 stand/
20492 bin/                3 junk/             110 sys@
20493 boot/              26 kern/           40961 tmp/
20482 cache/            158 kernel              4 usr/
20489 cdrom/            112 kernel.GENERIC      5 var/
   114 compat@           299 mnt/

restore > cd home
restore > ls
./home:
20483 ./      2 ../


No user directories are there!!!

What simplistic thing am I missing here?
