I'm in the process on moving my FreeBSD-setup onto a larger drive. Since I'm 
no expert in dump/restore so I've followed the steps outlined in 
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/admin.html#NEW-HUGE-DISK 
and that has worked well those other times I've tried this.

Not this time though. In one of the filesystem moves I loose the 
protectionbits(*) for everything but the owner. And all directories belongs 
to root/wheel (not good for /home). And I just can't figure out why that 
happens.

My old setup consist of /, /var and /usr and the new is /, /var, /usr and 
/usr/home (eg. I'm splitting the old /usr).

The process went well for / and /var, but for /usr it didn't. Setting -x for 
restore should gurantee that date, modes and owner are restored as well. 
Anyone got a clue to what's up?

On a side note, why is dump/restore so dead slow? For a 9GB filesystem it 
took the better part of 5 hours ... on 2 ATA100-drives....

(*) What are they called on BSD? Protectionsbit, modes or flags?
