However, I have downloaded the ssbin source code from a stable snapshot: http://snapshots.jp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ 5.4-STABLE-20050824-JPSNAP/src/ (This site suggested in the handbook) extracting the sbin/dump and sbin/restore src directories, and compiling on my 5.4-RELEASE machine appears to work, and produces a binary: ========================================= cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c main.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c interactive.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c restore.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c dirs.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c symtab.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c tape.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c utilities.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -c /usr/home/ted/stable/sbin/restore/../dump/dumprmt.c cc -O -pipe -DRRESTORE -o restore main.o interactive.o restore.o dirs.o symtab.o tape.o utilities.o dumprmt.o gzip -cn restore.8 > restore.8.gz ========================================= But the binary fails in the same way as the original 5.4-RELEASE binary: ========================================= %./restore if ~/root.dump Tape is not a dump tape ========================================= whereas copying a 4.x binary to the 5.4-RELEASE system works: ========================================= %restore4 if ~/root.dump Note: Doing Quad swapping restore > ls .: .TTauthority adrg kernel/ proc/ .Xauthority bin lib projects/ .cshrc cdrom/ lost+found/ sbin/ .dt/ core mirror/ tmp/ .dtprofile dev/ mnt/ usr/ .java/ devices/ net/ var/ .lsof_solabel10 etc/ netwars vol/ .rhosts export/ opt/ www/ .ssh/ home/ overflow/ xfn/ TT_DB/ home.local platform/ restore > quit % ========================================= Ted Nolan
