Date: Tue, 17 Jan 95 23:12:41 -0500 From: "Shawn M. Carey" Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I noticed this the other day on a 1.1.5 system: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- BUGS Restore can get confused when doing incremental restores from dump that were made on active file systems. A level zero dump must be done after a full restore. Because restore runs in user code, it has no control over inode allocation; thus a full restore must be done to get a new set of directories reflecting the new ^^^^^^^ inode numbering, even though the contents of the files is unchanged. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Should that last sentence read "...thus a full dump must be done...", or do I have it all wrong? Also, I wouldv'e checked this on a 2.x system with my (former) thud account, but I can no longer get in. I see via finger(1) that I'm still in the passwd file, but no go when it comes time to authenticate. Were accounts disabled intentionally? I really miss having access to a 2.x machine. :( -Shawn
