Subject: nightmare: dump/restore broken

I wanted to reorganize 2 disks: so I did a dump of the filesystems,
relabeled/newfs'd the disks and restored the filesystems.
This worked for the system disk (/, /usr, ....), but the situation is
dramatic with my /home fs (the most important one, of course). After
restore, I discovered that thousands (yes thousands :-() of files are
empty and that a lot of other are truncated. It is also possible that
some other files have grown. In short I losed 500Mbytes.
I tried an old tape (2 months old): same result. 

I don't understand why the system files are ok, and this particular fs
is broken. 
/dev/sd0a on / (NFS exported, local, writes: sync 153 async 1338))
/dev/sd0f on /usr (NFS exported, local, writes: sync 29 async 579))
/dev/sd0e on /var (local, writes: sync 179 async 479))
/dev/sd1e on /home (local, writes: sync 59 async 230))

I am runing a kernel from march, 30.

Any help will be greatly appreciated...

Jean-Marc
