[Dump-devel] feature-request, restore from cd

[Christer E. <ch...@ch...>]

Hi!

I am using cdrecord to dump my filesystems to CDRW like this:

$ mknod /tmp/tape p
$ dump 0uBf 665000  /tmp/tape /

and in another shell:

$ cdrecord -v -v blank=fast fs=10m speed=2  dev=4,0 /tmp/tape

This way I can dump filesystems larger than fits on a single CDRW, and
still be able to restore very easily with:

$ restore ivf /dev/cdrom

I would also like to be able to put more than one of my smaller
filesystems on the same CDRW, using multisession. That works fine, but
then restore must know how to reach other sessions on the CD, similar
to the -s option for tapes.

Is it possible to add support for this?
