I'm getting the same message, in the same situation (running 'dump', courtesy of amanda). Searching the mailing list archives, I don't see any followup to this message. I'm assuming this is a fairly benign error, but it'd be nice to know whether I should be worrying or not. I'd include a copy of the boot probe for my disks, but I can't, because the uptime on this box is so long that the last boot probe has rolled out of /var/log/messages* B-) N -- --+=[ Blueberry Hill Blueberry New Media ]=+-- --+=[ http://www.blueberry.co.uk/ 1/9 Chelsea Harbour Design Centre, ]=+-- --+=[ WebMaster@blueberry.co.uk London, England, SW10 0XE ]=+-- --+=[ Somedays, I wonder why I even bother chewing through the straps. ]ENTP
