Is it something like: > > xfsdump -J - somefile_xfsdump.txt ~$ man xfsdump Look at option "-f". > xfsrestore -J - somefile_xfsrestore.txt ~$ man xfsrestore See options "-f" "-t" and "-v". The point of this exercise I believe is to see what errors are thrown by xfsdump or xfsrestore when they are executed independently, vs through a pipe. Do note that this may not be the final step in testing before you have an answer. Post any errors or informational output that results from these commands. Note that the file written by xfsdump is going to be about the same size as the filesystem being dumped. I.e. if the filesystem being dumped is 1TB then you need 1TB of free space on the device where the target directory resides--you're dumping an entire XFS filesystem into a single file. Also, be sure to use "-t" so xfsrestore doesn't actually write anything. Did you read "-v"? -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@oss.sgi.com http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
