I'd never test it on a :memory-stressed machines, though. : :Sincerely, :D.Marck [DM5020, DM268-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] :------------------------------------------------------------------------ :*** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** :------------------------------------------------------------------------ You are welcome! I've been using it for my own backups since then as well. And on -current, with snapshots (dump -L), the cache can be safely used even if the filesystem is being actively modified. (Though it should be noted that without snapshots, 'dump' cannot be used to create a safe backup of a live system that is undergoing change, whether the cache is turned on or not). -Matt Matthew Dillon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
