Thanks Joshua. R'ing every manual I can find I was trying to come up with a
solution to a problem that I am having. When I choose the root file system
(/) called sda5 and put it in the disklist as follows:

schroeder sda5 nocomp-root

I receive the following error when I do an amcheck:

ERROR: schroeder: [could not access sda5 (sda5): No such file or directory]

I though that maybe it didn't like the fact that it was a / filesystem so I
was trying to just use the directories that I specify. If I exclude that
filesystem everything works ok. Whats up with /? And what page did you find
that information on? :>

Doug

RTEM.  :)  You're trying to back up a subdirectory, not a filesystem.  
dump won't let you do this.  Either back up filesystems only or use tar.
