OK, sorry I misunderstood that restore worked from dump files without
-L....
I wonder if the original poster just needs to do an fsck on the disk.
The only time I had dump crap out on me (other than with -L) was on a
dirty filesystem.
I regularly do stuff like
cd /usr;dump 0f - /usr | (cd /tmp/usr; restore -rf - )
to duplicate partitions

I do as well but if the original user is trying to restore into a
filesystem that is either not clean or not EMPTY for a full restore he
could run into some trouble.
I've never had dump/restore fail by the way, other than due to bad
(tape) media (yes, it was that long ago :) )
