That's a plausible figure. For comparison, here's "dump 0af /dev/null /usr" on a fast and a slow machine: amd64 (Phenom), WDC WD1500ADFD-0: 15413 KB/s alpha (PC164), IBM DNES-309170W: 1363 KB/s If you feel that dump is too slow, you could take a look at the caching option Matt Dillon added to FreeBSD's dump and port that over. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [EMAIL PROTECTED]
