I have been using the following command to dump for months with no problem: dump 0fua /dev/nsa0 /dev/da0s1a
for the past few weeks I get this: (bin)504}dump 0fua /dev/nsa0 /dev/da0s1a DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Jun 5 19:54:04 2002 DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch DUMP: Dumping /dev/da0s1a (/) to /dev/nsa0 DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] DUMP: estimated 67590 tape blocks.
