As Michael Smith wrote: > If you're using csh, something like this : > > # cd /dead_filesystem > # dump 0bf 10000000 - | (cd /new_filesystem; restore rvf -) I think you have to provide the `filesys' argument to dump. However, this filesystem doesn't need to be a mounted one. So better: umount /dead_filesystem # assume it was mounted from /dev/wd0e cd /new_filesystem dump 0bf 10000000 - /dev/rwd0e | restore rvf - I think dump handles files with bad blocks (read errors) halfways gracefully. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
