Hi all,

I am getting the following error while taking the backup on tape as well as disk for this particular subdirectory in a file system . I am able to take using tar . I am able to take any other file system also .please have a look on it. I have already locked all the vobs before taking the backup

[root@vlc-vobs root]# cd /vobfs
[root@vlc-vobs vobfs]# dump -0f 10.114.59.20:/vobs_backup vobstore
DUMP: Connection to 10.114.59.20 established.

Hi, I'm new here (but been using Linux for several years now).

I'm going to bump this thread in hopes that someone has the answer. I'm getting the same error on a system running RedHat Advanced Server 2.1.

I'm trying to use the dump command to back up a Dell PowerVault array that's attached to the system. The dump command works perfectly happily for the primary RAID array, but won't touch anything on the PowerVault. I've been doing some googling on this, and it looks like it might be because the PowerVault array is formatted as EXT3, not EXT2, and perhaps dump isn't quite sure what to do with that.

Can someone confirm? And if so, is there a newer version of dump out there that supports EXT3?
