i guess that arrived via the lsm entry, which says Description: Port of the 4.4BSD dump and restore backup suite >thereby reusing old i-node numbers. personally i don't think this difference is worth any argument; nobody should depend on particular inodes for anything, really. that the linux dump is not quite bit-nor-bug-compatible with 4.4BSD is a legit part of the 'port of' aspect in my opinion; and not really a big surprise, given that linux isn't 4.4BSD whose last release was 22 years ago... anyway, i'll adjust the description for the next release. regards az -- Alexander Zangerl + GPG Key 2FCCF66BB963BD5F + http://snafu.priv.at/ "The PROPER way to handle HTML postings is to cancel the article, then hire a hitman to kill the poster, his wife and kids, and fuck his dog and smash his computer into little bits.
