When dumping / it's ALWAYS safer to have it mounted read only. In my first reply, I suggested you boot into single user and create the dump from there. I've had the same type of message several times, but I've never found them to cause any harm. However, I never dump sensitive data from a read/write mounted fs. If possible I re-mount it read only, otherwise I boot into single user. And to be rudely honest: HAVE YOU READ ANYTHING ANYONE HAS WRITTEN?
