If I boot to single-user mode (reboot, hit space, do boot -s) and dump /usr to a file, I get read errors on a couple of blocks. Running fsck -y (also in single user of course) did not show a problem, but it did not clear up the errors when I tried the dump again. I thought it was safe to dump /usr in single-user mode. Will I need to boot off a CD or try another trick to get a clean dump of /usr? Or perhaps I am not using the right fsck options? the dump command I used is: dump 0af /someotherplace/filename.dump /usr This seemed to work fine for / and my other filesystems.
