[Dump-users] dumping EA block errors

[Anthony E. <ae...@gb...>]

Hi All,

I am running White Box Enterprise Linux 4 (WBEL4),
which is the same thing as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
(RHEL4), only cheaper.  WBEL4 is based on Fedora Core 3.


I am getting the following errors when I run dump
from my root drive (LABEL=/ or /dev/sdb5) to
my image backup drive (/images or /dev/sda2).
Both partitions are ext3.

I am running dump-static-0.4b40-1.i386.rpm.
Does anyone know what is going on here?

Many thanks,
--Tony
p.s. I test for the return error code.  I get
back a zero.



/sbin/dump.static -v -0a -z -f /images/linuxDump.gz /dev/sdb5
