I am running SunOS 4.0.3 and wish to extract a file from a level 0 dump
tape using restore and the files' i-node number.  This is because a
filesystem became corrupted and fsck has placed the files in lost+found
using the files' i-node as part of its name.  The good 'ol SunOS man page
for restore indicates that there is an "m" option to retrieve files by
inode rather than by name, but I cant get it to work because it keeps
wanting to use the i-number supplied as the NAME of the file to extract.
Any ideas?.. Is there any other way to recover these files??  Any help
most appreciated.
