Restore shouldn't be much dependent on UFS features. Unlike (ufs)dump, it works at file level, not at disk level. > If you want to grab it and play, it is at: > > ftp://ftp.cyber.com.au/pub/unix/msdump.tgz Better name it `dosdump'? Remember, there's more DOSes than just M$. Also, we do already have a mkdosfs(8), maybe somebody would even write a dosfsck(8). (mkdosfs doesn't understand harddisks however. I'm not the right person to ask for this, my DOS knowledge is too weak.) Ideally, all this should probably named s/dos/fat/g. It's a more descriptive name of this filesystem. -- 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. ;-)
