Yes. Use dump(8) -- that's what it's for. It reads the inodes, directories, and files directly from the disk device, thereby eliminating stat() overhead entirely. Any replication mechanism -- rsync, tar, even dd -- can be used as a backup mechanism, but dump was specifically designed for the purpose. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
