I originally noticed the problem when my backup script, which runs dump 0af /holding/disk $filesystem failed. And this problem still persists. (/holding/disk is just a normal file on an FFS. Different disk, same SCSI adapter.) Dumping to /dev/null is merely another convenient way to reproduce this. > Dumping through a redirect to /dev/null (tcsh) seems to work as > well.
