Hi

=20

If I have the wrong list please feel free to redirect me.

=20

I'm running 7.0-RELEASE-p4 and trying to backup to an external USB
drive.

=20

I'm using the following command

dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root /dev/mfid0s1a

=20

Where df:

Filesystem    1K-blocks     Used     Avail Capacity  Mounted on

/dev/mfid0s1a    507630   208436    258584    45%    /

/dev/da1s1d   709513458  9853800 642898582     2%    /backup

=20

The following processes start=20

75399  p0  I+     0:00.04 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root
/dev/mfid0s1a (dump)

75402  p0  S+     0:00.71 dump: /dev/mfid0s1a: pass 4: 77.05% done,
finished in 0:00 at Wed Oct  8 08:25:06 2008 (dump)

75403  p0  S+     0:00.85 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root
/dev/mfid0s1a (dump)

75404  p0  S+     0:00.96 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root
/dev/mfid0s1a (dump)

75405  p0  S+     0:00.86 dump -a0Lf /backup/diskimages/root
/dev/mfid0s1a (dump)

=20

But it just stops at a random percentage,  the system continues to run
and the processes are killable?

=20

Perhaps I'm using dump incorrectly if anyone could help would be greatly
appreciated.

Regards
