Sorry, I did not use the exact name of the partition on the original message to avoid confusion, but I see that it worked against me... Anyways, here is part of the output of df: /dev/sd1e 657787 395405 209760 65% /usr/local /dev/sd1f 657787 437808 167357 72% /PC_Server /dev/sd1g 657917 601002 24020 96% /PC_Server/private The filesystem I want to rdump is /PC_Server/private I've always been a bit confused about how the above works. How is "private" connected/attached/mounted/linked to "PC_Server"? Antonio
