thanks for the tip ... I should mention that this is not an installation I did myself but a support call from a *new* customer (first contact today). And they run a backup box which wasn't documented by the former admin so I am pretty much left with the configs and logs on the box. As far as I see from this they used a bs of 32k so I used it (as you see in my example). Aside from that "mt fsf" should work reliably anyway ... thanks, Stefan
