This happened while copying data over to a new disk (mounted on /mnt and /mnt/usr; the original disk has only one partition). The machine was in single-user mode, but / was mounted read-write due to restore's insistance on placing temporary files in /tmp (I found out later that it respects TMPDIR, though the man page doesn't mention it). root@dsa /mnt# dump -0Laf- / | restore -rf- DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Jan 9 16:11:42 2003 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/da0a (/) to standard output DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 1838856 tape blocks. DUMP: dumping (Pass III) [directories] DUMP: dumping (Pass IV) [regular files] warning: ./usr: File exists expected next file 4, got 3 [...] I can imagine that the file that caused the warning message was one of restore's temporary files, but a) I've never seen this before, and b) isn't -L supposed to prevent just that?
