Still having dump problems

Previously I reported the following problem

> /usr/sbin/dump -f /dev/nrmt0h -9u -b 200 -s 26000 -d 61000 /home
> dump: Dumping from host ares
> dump: Date of this level 9 dump: Thu May 04 08:21:27 1995 BST
> dump: Date of last level 3 dump: Thu Apr 27 00:26:43 1995 BST
> dump: Dumping /dev/rrz14h (/home) to /dev/nrmt0h
> dump: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
> dump: Mapping (Pass II) [directories]
> dump: SIGSEGV received -- ABORTING!

A number of people suggested that this could be due to having an entry in
the /etc/fstab file which did not start with a / Sure enough we had an entry
which said

loki:/var/mail /usr/spool/mail nfs rw

I therefore changed this to

/var/mail_at_loki /usr/spool/mail nfs rw

But the backup still failed. I tried rebooting the machine, but we are still
getting the SIGSEGV error. Is the problem just with /etc/fstab or is it with
the file systems which are currently mounted, as the automounter will still
be mounting entries of the form system:/directory

In the meantime I have phoned up the support centre and asked for the patch
for the fstab problem. Maybe that will fix it.
