Subject: strange dump/restore behaviour

This happened while copying data over to a new disk (mounted on /mnt
and /mnt/usr; the original disk has only one partition). The machine
was in single-user mode, but / was mounted read-write due to restore's
insistance on placing temporary files in /tmp (I found out later that
it respects TMPDIR, though the man page doesn't mention it).

warning: ./usr: File exists
expected next file 4, got 3
[...]
I can imagine that the file that caused the warning message was one of
restore's temporary files, but a) I've never seen this before, and b)
isn't -L supposed to prevent just that?

Sorry for the slow response. I tend to get behind on my freebsd.org
email.
The warning comes about because you had already created /mnt/usr.
Since you were doing a full restore, you are getting a warning
that the usr directory already exists when restore tries to create
it. It complains again about finding an already existing inode (3
which was presumably the usr directory in the original dump).
Neither of these are problematic or affected your restore.
