If you happen to have a different version of FreeBSD on another box of boxes, older or newer, you might try a test restore of your problem dump file on those boxes. If you can make a dump file which shows this bug on being fed to restore, which doesn't have sensitive information in it, I would be happy to download it and see if I can reproduce the problem on a few boxes with different versions of FreeBSD here. I had some restore issues in May of 2008 which got resolved because I could create a dump file which would fail to restore on a developer's system. But that was a different issue than you are seeing. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org
