I'm dump-ing to a samba mounted xp machine, it has an external HD connected through FW and the HD is about 300GB.
When I try to dump anything larger than 4GB dump gives me a write error. I assume this is the big-file limitation in the foreign OS, but I guess this can be solved by breaking up the dump file in mutiple volumes. The man page for dump states this: [....] -B records The number of kilobytes per output volume, except that if it is not an integer multiple of the output block size, the command uses the next smaller such multiple. This option overrides the calculation of tape size based on length and density. [....] So I thougth this line should create a bunch of 35mb files. But it did not. Any thouts on this? >dump -0 -L -a -B 35000 -f /HEMMET2/External_HD/freebsd_usr.dump /dev/ad0s1f _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
