Well, after some experimenting and reading one mail from the archive, it comes
to this:
Uprava:/# rsh -l root Twinpeaks "/sbin/vdump -0uC -b 60 -f - /clones/root" | dd
bs=60k of=/dev/nrmt0h
The change is in "-b 60" switch for vdump. dd still reports a lot of partial
blocks. Now everything works fine, vrestore with and without dd.
I have seen today another summary to this, ommiting "-b 60", but placing
"obs=60k" on dd line, instead of "bs=60k".
Could someone post a definite answer to this? What exactly is messing things up
with these blocks.
Nix.
