Nope. My backup command is: /usr/local/sbin/backup -t 135
/vice/db/dumplist /codafs/backups/, so coda backups fill
/codafs/backups, and this is a dir really empty...
Then, I'll tar/gzip it in /extra0. All is done locally, no tape, no
remote (at the moment).

I've to look at that asap :)
Anyway: any clue? My disks are in raid1, so I think it can't be an hw
fault (I found nothing in kernms / messages about hw failures).

Thanks again, Jan.
