Thanks to all the responses....Especially Jay Lessert & Matthew Stier 99% suggested dd, so thats what im going with makes sense to be able to control the blocks in and out: MachA# ssh MachB /usr/sbin/ufsdump 0fb - 126 $filesystem | /bin/dd of=/dev/rmt/1ln obs=63k "Thanks Jay": ufsdump: "Note: the blocking factor is specified in terms of 512-byte blocks, for compatibility with tar(1)." dd: "The input and output block sizes may be specified to take advantage of raw physical I/O. Sizes are specified in bytes; a number may end with k, b, or w to specify multiplication by 1024, 512, or 2, respectively." So these are all exactly the same function: ufsdump b 126 | dd obs=63k ufsdump b 126 | dd obs=126b ufsdump b 126 | dd obs=64512 ufsdump b 126 | dd obs=63x1024 Also was able to cut out one of my ssh's from my command.
