I think you are trying too hard. What are you trying to do that dump 0af /scratch/filesystem.dump /filesystem doesn't do? (/scratch/ is some place you have room for an image of /filesystem/) Then if you want to get fancy you can pipe dump into gzip. If /scratch/ has at least twice the size of /filesystem/ then you can gzip after the fact. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net (hm) ====================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
