Thus spake Joachim Schipper ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [20/03/06 00:34]:
: Provided that you didn't do something strange when copying the dump, it
: should - at least - be restorable on something that closely resembles
: the platform it was taken on (FreeBSD-6.x).
I believe the default FS type in FreeBSD 6.x (and even in 5.x) is UFS2.
Which, as I understand it, only has the beginnings of a framework being
developed for OpenBSD. And no, you can't restore a UFS2 dump on a UFS
filesystem:
$ restore -ivf root.ufs2.dmp
Verify tape and initialize maps
Tape block size is 32
restore: Tape is not a dump tape
