Hi all,

I have been using tar for a while to make backups. Now I'm
planning to switch over to using dump.

I planned to write multiple DVD-R sized volumes into separate
files, which I'll burn on DVD-R discs.

However, while running tests, I noticed that single volume
dumps cause no problems when restoring, even directly from
a DVD. But, when I create a multi-volume dump, I always
get these errors when restoring:

	resync restore, skipped XXX blocks

I tested the same on Linux, with the same ~100MB test
directory, and I get the problems whenever I have more
than one volume.

This is so old and tested software that I'm quite
certain the problem is the user.. Please help me :-)

Best regards,
Teemu Rinta-aho
