(Vax 8200, Ultrix 1.2). Although I don't expect much machine activity at 3 in the morning, the file systems will still techically be active (no single-user/umount/reboot sequence, in other words). What kinds of problems might I reasonably expect, should I ever need to restore one of these dumps? Anything serious? Or just minor inconsistencies? Or not even that? --- Paul DuBois UUCP: {allegra,ihnp4,seismo}!uwvax!rhesus!dubois | ARPA: dubois@rhesus.primate.wisc.edu --+-- | "My help does not come from the hills" | Psalm 121:1
