Observe: DUMP: estimated -1531206574 tape blocks. DUMP: 99.99% done, finished soon I suspect an integer overflow somewhere, but this is highly unusual asI've seen many posts in various archives where the exact command syntax I had was used, and it showed positive tape block calculations and real percentages. This filesystem is only 17GB, with 4.1GB used (as I said earlier). -Dan -- Dan Ponte http://www.theamigan.net/ An age is called Dark not because the light fails to shine, but because people refuse to see it. -- James Michener, "Space"
