Consistently, I can hang my system with restore. The archive is an uncompressed 75 gig file. I run restore -rvf <file> in a new empty directory and restore's first chore is to create the directory tree.
restore hangs the machine. It hangs the machine when there's othere read/write going on or by itself. The machine is an athlon-750 with ata-66 disk interfaces and 384 meg of RAM. The disk in question is a 250 gig disk formated with -b 65536 and -f 8192 Now... I can get this to work if I run while true; do sync; sleep 1; done in another shell.
