0 bytes. 

-rw-r--r--    1    root    root    0    Jan 21 19:29    rdb.dump


When I press return after entering the command, the sdb disk is accessed
once briefly followed by sdc briefly. Then the heartbeat shows
activity once every two seconds and then after a few seconds (approx 8 secs) 
I get the error message.
