i have implimented dump on to my linux machines, but for some reason, one
of my linux boxes does not want to back up using dump. it is running
slackware 7.0, and it only has a 500 meg partition. this is the error
message generated:
FAILED AND STRANGE DUMP DETAILS:

\--------
does this mean anything to anyone? i have two other slackware 7.1 boxes
that have no trouble backing up. all three are using the same version of
dump (the latest version on sourceforge, dump-0.4b20).
thanks
