Are we aiming at the wrong target, here?
I used the fixit CD to examine ad0s3, where my missing files reside.
What I found was that (eg) /bin, /etc, /dev were full of files/directories, but
/var and /usr were empty. I didn't ask dump/restore to delete anything, and did
not ask rm to remove the files from /var or /usr/everything.
The command I used to copy was:
dump 0af - / | restore xf -
Is it dump or restore that have been causing the problem?
home@ on ad0s3 still links to /usr/home so that if I "mount /dev/ad0s3
/mnt/other" in my working system on ad2, ls /mnt/other/home shows my working
home directory - a bit startling when you first see it. Don't see this as
significant, but you gurus might.
