I am running 4.0C.
I copied the whole system with dump/restore to an external disk with
only one ufs partition (and one swap partition). Booting that
system seemed ok, so I repartitioned the internal drive to also have
only the rz*a and rz*b partitions and copied the whole system back.
So far everything seems to work just fine. Therefore I was wondering
why the default is to have the disk artificially fragmented.
Is there a bad catch when running DEC Unix with unified / and /usr
partitions?

P.S.: here is what I did (twice) to copy the whole system to another disk:
newfs /dev/rrz29a /dev/rrz29a
mount /dev/rz29a /mnt
dump 0f - / | ( cd /mnt ; restore rf - )
dump 0f - /usr | ( cd /mnt/usr ; restore rf - )
cp -p /mnt/genvmunix /mnt/vmunix
edit /mnt/etc/fstab: change definition of root and swap device
rm /mnt/sbin/swapdefault
shutdown -h now
boot dkd500.5.0.1010.0
Rebuild kernel (just to be clean)
