Will someone tell me WHAT the deal is with restore?
There is, of course, /etc/restore, but there is also /etc/fs/svfs/restore
(for SVFS file systems) and /etc/fs/ufs/restore (for UFS). What do these
"hidden" restores do?
Am I correct in assuming that /etc/restore is the front-end to these two
hidden ones? That is, if restore sees that the FS-type is ufs, /etc/restore
"calls" /etc/fs/ufs/restore ? Therefore, if you want to add restore capability
to Eschatology, you must eu all 3 files... right?
Finally, say I have a nice new UFS file system. It's clean and empty. I also
have a dump.bsd archive of a UFS file system... when I use restore, will
restore:
1. Since I didn't specify -T assumes that the FS is svfs?
2. Use the FS-type that the dump was made from?
3. Use the FS-type that the restore is going to?
What happens if I do a dump of a svfs and restore it to ufs, or vice-versa?
