Well I've tried about every method I can think of, including the ones you suggested and they all fail after a certain size. I've given up using dump/restore at this time and am using tar. If I can help in anyway assisting you in diagnosing this problem please let me know. -----Original Message----- From: David Malone [mailto:dwmalone@maths.tcd.ie] Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2000 3:22 AM To: Guy Gustavson Cc: freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org Subject: Re: bin/21253: dump/restore fail on any stream (tape/pipe/file) over 4GB > I tried that, I get different message, but it means about the same... > Changing volumes on pipe input? > abort?

[yn] y > Abort I think this can happen if the filesystem changes in a certain way while being dumped - we think what happens is that the last inode it was expecting to backup is removed while the backup is in progress. We have some patches to improve the situation with the bad error handling too, but I haven't committed them just yet. David.
