>Description:
              I believe the first bug listed in the restore man page is no longer correct.  The man page states: "The restore utility can get confused when doing incremental restores from dumps that were made on active file systems."

Is this still true if you use the "-L" argument to dump?  

If I understand how snapshots work, I think this man page statement is no longer precisely correct.  You are dumping a static snapshot of the file system, a snapshot that is created while writes are suspended.  So I would think restore should have no problems with restoring a series of incremental dumps that used the "-L" options.

If this is the case, it would be helpful to have this documenation clarified.

I think you're right; I've fixed the description of a bug 
to mention the positive effect of the -L option of dump(8).
