Installation of the dump/restore port should be quite easy. First edit the file MCONFIG to change parameters and type `make' to compile the programs. Then you can type `make install' to install the programs in /sbin and the manual pages in /usr/man/man8. You need to have the source distribution of the latest Ext2fs programs since this version of dump uses the Ext2fs library written by Theodore T'so. Change the GINC and GLIBDIR macros in MCONFIG to indicate where the Ext2fs programs are located. The Ext2fs programs distribution is available from tsx-11.mit.edu in the directory /pub/linux/packages/ext2fs. Please note that if you want to compile dump and restore as ELF binaries, you need to apply my patch to the e2fsprogs-0.5b distribution to create ELF libraries. This patch is available on ftp.ibp.fr in the directory /pub/linux/ELF/patches. Last, if you use Linux 1.2.x, you may want to apply a kernel patch to speed up dump. The file `kernel.patch' in the dump distribution contains a patch which adds an optimization to the llseek() system call. This patch has been integrated in the 1.3 kernel but not in the 1.2 branch. People have reported that this patch speeds up dump by a factor of 2 or 3.
