Lines: 15 Posted for a friend: Has anyone ever worked with /etc/memsize before? Two system scripts use the above, /etc/dumpsave /etc/ldsysdump. I'm having trouble loading an image from diskette because memsize results in a 0 on stdout when given /dev/rdsk/f0t on it's command line. How does memsize work? Is there any neat trick I could use to restore the image by some other means? I've tried dd'ing it from disk but no good, crash won't recognise the image. I using an interactive version of UNIX. Thanks Alan
