The OP complained his dump was slow. I was wondering if it was slow because of problem with dump, or if the device from which he was dumping was slow by itself. If he did dd from device->null and measured time, he would have basis to claim that slowness was a fault of dump - if dd was, say twice as fast. -- Regards, Tomasz Rola -- ** A C programmer asked whether computer had Buddha's nature. ** ** As the answer, master did "rm -rif" on the programmer's home ** ** directory.
