DUMP: finished in 9837 seconds, throughput 3766 KByte/sec DUMP: cannot rewrite /etc/dumpdates: Read-only file system DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. I know, I could have specified with -D ... another file, but I did not. The written dump file looks fine (I can read it with restore -t -f ...). My question is: Is the dumpfile fine, despite of the above message.
