Since a few weeks, we have a very strange problem with our dumps. We do sun backup's as follows: rsh system /etc/dump 0usbdf 100000 50 100000 backuphost:/dev/nrst1 /dev/rxy0d for a dump to video-8. or : rsh system /etc/dump 2usdf 100000 100000 \ backuphost:/backup/system/rxy0d/level.2 /dev/rxy0d for a incremental to disk. Sometimes, after a while (the time seems a random factor), the dumps on 'system' gets idle, and the dump hangs forever (untill we do a kill of course). The problem is not related to sun, because this problem also occures on other BSD systems. All the hardware seems o.k., and the network is electrically functioning normal. What is happening here ???
