The potential problem there is that it's using the IDE bus. In general, I do not own IDE hardware, and I do not have the problems you are seeing. Neither does anyone else who doesn't own IDE hardware. The real question here is whether or not you can eliminate the IDE as a cause of the problem. I *know* that John has done a lot of work on the IDE driver; much of this work is in -current, not -stable, and I doubt it has been seriously tested with all possible hardware. Can you copy the disk to a SCSI drive (with TAR, if you insist), and try the dump/restore from there?
