[OpenAFS-devel] vol-dump.c and large file dumps...

[Mitch Collinsworth]

Direct from disk?  This sounds interesting but 1st I've heard of it.
How does it compare speed-wise with vos dump?  When I outlined my
plan for implementing AFS backups with amanda using vos dump, nobody
mentioned voldump to me.  Maybe we could get faster dumps by fixing
voldump and switching from vos dump to that?
