When making a backup with ufsdump, will the size of the dump file be the same size as the filesystem (or at least, the used portion) that was backed up? Apparently I've got a little over 8Gb on an oracle partition and it happily fit itself all on a little 4Gb tape. Hmmmm... The man pages...

Hi all, Does anyone know how to force messages/errors on bootup to go to a file other than syslog? I've been reading through the syslog.conf man pages and i don't see any particular option that filters out messages that appear on bootup. Any ideas? Thanks! Mike ~~~~ simanek@uiuc.edu...
