Severd_Nerv,

This is TOTALLY irrelevant with the current thread, sorry.

The thread is:

. If you wanted to restore a file from that second dump, you would first need to "mt fsf" to get there.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



I "ufsdump" many file systems as you said one after the other using the no rewind optionbut when I do a restore I use 'ufsrestore si (Number)' and restore the appropriate file system.

What do you mean by that ??

. You better specify the no rewind when you do. Then for the restore, you could use an auto-rewind special file.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Thanks for your help

NAME
rewind - reset file position indicator in a stream SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> void rewind(FILE *stream); DESCRIPTION
The call: rewind(stream) is equivalent to: (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET) except that rewind() also clears the error indicator. RETURN VALUES
The rewind() function returns no value. ERRORS
Refer to fseek(3C) with the exception of EINVAL which does not apply. USAGE
Because rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should clear errno, then call rewind(), and if errno is non-zero, assume an error has occurred. ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |Interface Stability |Standard | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ |MT-Level |MT-Safe | +-----------------------------+-----------------------------+ SEE ALSO
