Hi,
I've run afoul of PR 67723, which seems to also affect the
reading of legacy BSD dump files in addition to breaking the -c
switch. To get around this problem, and prevent my having to
change horses mid-stream and downrev my OS to 4.10, I thought I'd just compile
the 4.10 restore from source
[---original post omitted---]
Well, I've answered my own question: I downloaded the 4.10 restore binary
and it worked like a charm, restoring hard links and all. My apologies
for posting precipitously and generating clutter. Here's hoping someone in
similiar circumstances will find my solution
