If so, is it possible that the fi= le causing the problem is being written at the time that dump is trying to dump it? If so, then dump may read it in an inconsistent state (e.g., it has allocated, but not yet initialised one of its indirect blocks (hence the garbage value to see when it reads the not-yet initialised block. The reason for dumping a snapshot is to ensure that you get a consistent view of the filesystem. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
