That is, during a mkfs (or "icheck -s"), the free list is sorted to minimize latency between successive reads (as delivered, for an RP03--it might be necessary to tweak the parameters for other disk hardware.) So, the actual block addresses in which files reside will not remain the same between a full dump/mkfs/restor. Steve Dyer sdyer@bbn-unix
