I check the man page for newfs to see what I had to do, and I still have some questions... Can I just specify a -i argument and depend on defaults for the rest? Will this procedure work? 1. dump /dev/sd0d 2. umount /dev/sd0d 3. newfs -i 1024 /dev/sd0d 4. mount /dev/sd0d /var/spool/news 5. restore /dev/sd0d Thanks, -David -- David Paigen, aka Sir Henry Lee, Queen's Champion Will answer stupid user paigen@best.com C, unix, X, news, and questions for beer. paigen@forte.org distributed systems (good beer)
