I use 'dump' in conjunction with 'restore'. The new disk is partitioned to /,/usr,/var and all this slices are mounted as /mnt/root /mnt/usr /mnt/var. I tried to: --- /mnt/usr> dump 0f - /usr | restore rf - DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Sat Apr 15 18:11:49 2000 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /usr to standard output DUMP: bad sblock magic number DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. Tape is not a dump tape --- The old disk was one slice + swap, is this a reason I cannot do it with 'dump'? How can I split the OS into 3 partitions while moving? Thanks for your time. -- regards, Piotr Smyrak smyru@eko.wroc.pl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
