We lost the disc which the spool directory lives on and have had to revert to a dump tape from 1800 GMT on Thursday 28th Feb. Mail and news which had not been relayed was lost - sorry all. Some mail was re-transmitted - just in case. All I can say is: Kirk McKusick's dump/restore programs WORK. The dumps were done on live systems. Would have been better to have a RA81 driver which handles bad blocks tho........ -- Pete Collinson pc@ukc
