I'm using dump/restore very frequently and I had never seen such problem. Neither on -RELAESE, -STABLE, nor -CURRENT. So I think you should make sure that your problem is not hardware/filesystem dependent before you point dump/restore as a couse of the problem. Peter Jeremy already gives you good hints to do that. -- Bartosz Stec.
