I sign on as root and enter the command dump 0uf /dev/fd0 /usr It writes 5 floppy discs. I then enter the command restore vif /dev/fd0 It shows me the directories in the /usr filesystem but src is not a directory. I have checked the man pages, the handbook and the O'Reilly book. I would expect that I could descend into src and restore a file from /usr/src/lib...etc. Am I doing something wrong, is something wrong with the system or is this how dump is supposed to work?
