I use xfs in tandem with lvm2 and I have to say I am very pleased. Now a question: There are two modes of using xfs(dump,restore): non-cumulative and cumulative. Is this cumulative mode also good to work with full dumps (level0). E.g. the data I have to mirror is not large, and I don't want to rely on inventory data. So I want for instance if between two full dumps a file F was deleted, it should get deleted when I do xfsrestore for the second time. I don't keep the xfsdump output files but i just apply them via ssh. So something like that would be great! Maybe someone can shed some light on that. thanks --Jakob
