Do I need to create directories on the second drive (i.e. dump_of_root, dump_of_home etc..) or does dump create those automatically? When I try to dump / to a second drive, I get the following error: #dump -0u -f /dev/ad2s1e / DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Aug 1 23:48:19 2002 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/ad0s1a (/) to /dev/ad2s1e DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 61792 tape blocks on 1.59 tape(s). DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/ad2s1e". DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") y DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/ad2s1e". I get the same error if I try to dump into a folder: dump -0u -f /dev/ad2s1e/dump_of_root / Why can't dump write to the second drive? TIA for any help.
