- when i originally set up my disk (a non-system disk),
- I partitioned
- it into three separate file systems. i thought
- it was a good idea at the time. i would
- like to go back to one file system. i use the new dump
- commanded provided with 4.0 to do backups.
- one backup for each file system. my question is
- how best to back up my system before consolidating
- three file systems into one. can the three dump
- files (one for each file system) be used to restore
- back to the new consolidated file system?
- thanks,
