I can now use my ATAPI CD burner with dump/restore! Awesome!!! Ok, now on to my question: I'd like to do a full backup on each of my filesystems, zap all the partitions and do a new fdisk/disklabel with more filesystems than I'm currently using. For example, create a new /home partition instead of using a symlink in / to /usr/home. I'm just wondering if this will present any problems when restoring from backups. I can't seem to glean this information from the man pages. Thanks! -- Conrad Sabatier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
