Having just tried to restore a 64 bit BSD database to a 32 bit linux machine (using PiTR), I have now realized the (with hindsight, obvious) error in my ways. Now, I need to plan a way forward. From reading of other peoples similar problems, I now realize that I need a system with identical on-disk formats. Question is: Is there a simple way to determine compatibility? (eg. a small well-defined list of requirements) In the specific instance I am working with, I'd like to copy from 64 bit AMD BSD system to a 64 bit Linux system. Philip Warner
