2.2-STABLE

>Description:

With the following command line:

( dump 0f - /dev/sd0s1x | ssh -c none newmachine 'cd /usr/old-katiska-usr && restore -xvf -' ) | & tee /tmp/logfile

at the end of input, when restore is supposed to start setting the modes
and owners of the files, this appears, endlessly:

abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] Changing volumes on pipe input?

All the data has already been copied at this point, and dump has reported 
dump done.  The unfortunate effect is that owners are broken.

I do not seem to be able to produce this on small input, but it happens
repeatably when copying 4G over a network.

>How-To-Repeat:

Use the above line with large enough filesystem.

>Fix:
	
I do not know, but looks like something is missing somewhere.  It could also
be a problem in ssh, maybe it drops data at the end of transfer and
restore thinks early eof to be a volume change ?
