Im trying to setup a machine to mirror its entire drive using dump/restore to a secondary drive. The dump works fine, but at the end of each session, restore always asks "set owner/mode for '.'"?. This makes it impossible to automate the task, which is what I would to accomplish. I have read the man-page, browsed the internet and searched trough mailinglist archives, but nowhere have I found a way to make restore assume that the answer to the question should be 'yes'. I have come across a few patches floating around that is supposed to fix this, but I would prefer not to use patches against the base system. I know that there are other utilities available that could probably do this, but Ive been teached that you should always use dump when doing full backups of the root filesystem, and Im also comfortable using dump and restore so I would like to continue to do so if possible. Any ideas or suggestions? -- R
