This was my question:

>I am about to repartition my machine (a DEC 2000 AXP 300), as the first

>I've had no problems having advfs on the root partition. However, due to

>question is: how do I do it? A guess is vdump everithing, then

The general consensus is that vdump/vrestore can be used with no problems
on UFS filesystems.
