Are you sure the dump program you are using does match the actual versions of your filesystem? Do you perchance accidentally use something like /usr/local/bin/dump? I've never seen this, and i'm doing a lot of dump(8)ing... The only other explanation is that your filesystem is hosed. (I suppose it's not a msdos or ext2fs file system...?) > If I do scsi -f /dev/erst0 -p > > I get 0-7 SCIOCADDR: Inappropriate ioctl for device Usage error. The -p flag is supposed to work only on the (non-existant) ``super scsi'' device. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
