Hi all,

    Due to use out of disk space, I bought a new disk and dump files to
    a another disk then restore back.

    But I have a problem now :( because there are a lot of files. The
    restore(8) will grow up until 512MB and then:

    no memory to extend symbol table
    abort? [yn] y
    dump core? [yn] y
    Abort

    Can I use sysctl to change something to break the limit of 512MB or
    is there any idea how to restore them ?

    I use 
    gzip -dc /bighead/blah.dump.gz | restore -f - -r
    to restore files
    
    Thanks.
