Thanks for the response. I'm not a programmer, so I'm struggling with your request. But, I was able to produce the output below. Please let me know if this helps. I tried to reproduce the problem on a smaller scale using tmp files, but I was unsuccessful. I'll keep trying to come up with a sm

That's not enough information for us to be able to do anything with. Can you at least find a stack backtrace in the core file? If you could boil it down into something that someone else could reproduce that would help a lot. - Dave Dykstra On Mon, Jul 22, 2002 at 07:19:26AM -0400, Edward Farrar

2002-07-22 Thread Dave Dykstra
Saving might not be so hard, but restoring is a big problem because rsync always generates a copy and then renames it in when finished. - Dave On Fri, Jul 05, 2002 at 03:38:55PM +0200, Ph. Marek wrote: > On Friday 05 July 2002 13:31, Arthur van Leeuwen wrote: > > Can you dd the partition (or par
