I have just been bitten by a very similar problem as Lloyd Caldwell.
- restore complains about '/' not being writable (it is but what should
happen there??)
- restore extracts a few files but leaves most of the dump unrestored
with 'expecting YYYYYY got ZZZZZZ'
I have checked the dump several times with restore -rNf /dev/cd0 (yes,
it's to a series of DVD-RAMs) plus have extracted a few samples from the
first disk apparently from the area which works. Like Lloyd, I am
extremely ... delighted ... about the situation but well. Like Lloyd, I
have been using FreeBSD for several years with little to complain.
Like Lloyd, any help appreciated... Meanwhile I think I will reinstall
the box from scratch with 7.0-RELEASE and return to 7-STABLE but I do
miss my "backup" I must say...
Oh well.
All the best regards,
Peter.
