Hi,

>>That's it. Make me smile.

>Always glad to provide a tickle.

Yes. Tickles are good.

>As far as I can tell, dumpdata.001 and trap dump file are the same.

Well sorta. It'l like saying having just the left hand is the same as
having the whole body since the left hand is part of a body. Having just
the left hand can be useful if you are looking at fingerprints, but it is
no substitute for the whole body.

What you did when you rebooting after the dump facility finished writing
the first diskette was avoid writing between 50 or 100 additional
diskettes that would have made up a complete dump.

This is why having a trap dump partition is a good thing. If you have a
512MB of RAM, it's going to take a lot of diskettes to write a complete
dump to diskettes.
