The man page states: "The restore utility can get confused when doing incremental restores from dumps that were made on active file systems." Is this still true if you use the "-L" argument to dump? If I understand how snapshots work, I think this man page statement is no longer precisely correct. You are dumping a static snapshot of the file system, a snapshot that is created while writes are suspended. So I would think restore should have no problems with restoring a series of incremental dumps that used the "-L" options. If this is the case, it would be helpful to have this documenation clarified. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
