I'm not entirely shure, but this looks like the snapshot generated by
"dump -L" was not yet cleaned up. You should wait a couple of minutes
(depending on the snapshot size and I/O turnover) before shutting down
the system or umounting the partition.

I don't know of a way to decide if the snapshot has been fully cleaned
up.
