Well considering I dumped to and restored from a file I don't see how that could be. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Jacob [mailto:mjacob@feral.com] Sent: Saturday, September 16, 2000 7:40 PM To: Guy Gustavson Cc: David Malone; freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: bin/21253: dump/restore fail on any stream (tape/pipe/file) over4GB I went and checked this also. Restore has no problems reading 8GB from standard input. It sounds like the only thing could be is something destroying the pipe. I think this PR should be closed.
