i seem to be having this problem again. backup reported this: 23:01:16 Dumping 7f000008.1000052 to /home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052 ... 23:49:45 Transferred -1106358795 bytes (2GB + whatever negative value) but the file was only this: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 122727 Jul 5 23:49 db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052 even more curious is that the first time i tried to run the backup, it failed: 03:27:15 Dumping 7f000008.1000052 to /home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000008.1000052 ... 04:10:37 VolDump (237d) failed on 1000064 with Unknown RPC2 return code 200 04:10:37 Dump of volume 7f000008 failed! 04:10:37 Dumping 7f000005.1000006 to /home/backup/05Jul2004/db.domain.com-7f000005.1000006 ... 04:10:37 WriteDump: Error RPC2_SEFAIL2 (F) in CheckSideEffect 04:10:37 Transmitted bytes 0 != requested bytes 510906! 04:10:42 Transferred 12754145 bytes running volutil dump by hand seems to work okay, though.
