What would be the proper dump command to dump a file system to a series of files which are no larger than 650MB in size? I tried the following command to see if dump would create a series of 10MB files when dumping the /usr filesystem, but I keep getting prompted to insert another volume once the 10MB limit is reached. dump -0u -B10000 -f /usr/archive/test_dump_usr /usr Any suggestions to automate this? - Scott To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
