- Has anyone else noticed that pax cannot restore file ownerships, regardless
- of using the -o flag and running as root? This is when using the cpio
- archive format; I don't know about others. I made a backup using pax, on
- 2.0.1, so I could install A/UX 3. But now pax can't restore the ownerships.
- cpio can, but the backup is a two-tape archive, so I can't access the second
- tape. <Jeff

- Normally mann@intacc.uucp, but for now jefman@utcs.toronto.edu since I can't
- get A/UX 3.0 running...
