Sorry. What do you mean by 'stop snipping attributions' ?

You tend to leave out the lines I've quoted above (eg On 2010-07-17...)
which let people see who wrote what.

I made it on my solaris8 machine as :
#ufsdump 0f /usr01/opt8.disk /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
I imported it to my qemu as its virtual disk three with '-hdc
opt8.disk' option so its format command shows disk three on /c0t2d0 .
I tried to restore it on my qemu /opt as :
#ufsrestore -xvf /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3
But it returns 'volume is not in dump format'
