I don't care if its the 1st results of the google search 'meaning of life', its irrelevant and oudated. At the time I sent that reply, you had posted no log information, nothing concrete to allow us to focus our troubleshooting efforts. At that time, the information in the link I provided could have been as relevant as any other. At that time I had not seen the off list back-n-forth between you and Dave that contained a little bit more information from you. Note that I said "might be relevant", not "this is your answer". Note that Dave recently pointed an OP to a 1996 XFS paper. Some information in that 15 year old paper is still relevant today. You cannot simply discard information because it appears "old" to you. Some aspects of XFS haven't changed in 16 years. As I said in my first response, xfsdump/xfsrestore would have avoided your current problem, as well as xfs_copy, as Dave pointed out. There is nothing set in stone that prevents dd from working with XFS filesystems. However, it is obviously less forgiving of error, user or otherwise, than the 'equivalent' XFS utilities. Lastly, getting testy with those attempting to assist you isn't going to further your efforts in fixing your problem. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
