Is /dev/da0s1f roughly the same size as /dev/da1s1f? What does, % df -i Produce when both are mounted? I'm just making a wild guess that those errors could be from running out of inodes on the target partition. -- Crist J. Clark cjclark@home.com Crist: /usr (/dev/da0s1f) was a 16 gb slice and the new slice was (/dev/da1s1f) was only 1 gb. So the inode difference was huge. Today just for testing I made /dev/da1s1f 16 GB and had the same results with the above procedure. The dump/restore did not work. Any other thoughts ? harware timeout or something ? The errors fly by so fast, is there a log generated somewhere ? Thanks, John. ______________________________________________________________________ Get Visto.com!
