I have a 2gig hp dat drive and some small filesystems (freebsd 2.2.5+2.2.6) I have tried doing them one after the other which seems to work exept when I try to restore.. it only sees the first system dumped. (seems logical because I would have to move the the beginning of the next dump to read the header info off of it) I am not sure how to do this ... I have looked at wt..etc.. but none seem position me at the next dump header record. any clues would be greatly appreciated.. thanks robert ps please directly e-mail as I am not currently on the list. thanks To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
