problems with restor

Restor will "give up" on a tape if the tape starts at an inode larger
than the one requested.  I have sometimes seen a case where dump
apparently "forgot" to save some files - I attribute this to dumping
active file systems, but I'm not sure.

You can only do a dumpdir with the first volume mounted because ALL the
directory and filename information is at the beginning of the first volume.
