Good Morning all,

I have been setting up a some cronjobs this week to do dumps. Currently my
server is partitioned as such:

Filesystem      Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/amrd0s1a   484M    95M   351M    21%    /
/dev/amrd0s1h   7.6G   2.5G   4.5G    36%    /home
/dev/amrd0s1g   992M    97M   816M    11%    /mail
/dev/amrd0s1e   4.7G   1.8G   2.6G    40%    /usr
/dev/amrd0s1f    14G   967M    12G     7%    /var
procfs          4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc
/dev/amrd0s1d   3.8G   576M   2.9G    16%    /backup

I am dumping "/var", "/usr", "/", and "/home" each Monday starting at 0200.
They are being dumped into /home/bacup. (I then FTP them to a different
local box).

This morning I seen this in the logs, and, the dump was unsuccessfull.

 DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Mon Oct 28 02:20:03 2002

DUMP: fopen on /dev/tty fails: Device not configured
  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

and in my/var/log/messages and dmesg logs I get:

dscheck(#amrd/0x20007): negative b_blkno -1982468757

I have been searching all morning (google, av etc) with no luck. It looks
like these may be systems errors. Any Ideas?

Also, one thing I have noticed in my searches, others that have seen this
ALSO notice that they happened in the early morning hours (i.e. 0100 0200
0300 etc.) Is this just coinciudental, or is there some significance?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

-Grant

P.S. the other three file systems dumped no problem.
