  Hello,
  I get the following error when I execute the command

   #  dump -u0 -f /dev/ntape/tape0_d1 /

dump: Dumping from host pswxxx.psi.ch
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Dec  7 15:41:04 2005 MET
dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch 
dump: Dumping root_domain#root (/) to /dev/ntape/tape0_d1
dump: 
dump: Cannot open file-system file root_domain#root
dump: Bad file system specification or bad file system.  The raw device must
dump: be entered when the file system's pathname has not been entered in the
dump: fstab file.  A bad file system is reported when the the magic number
dump: is not found in the super block.
main(): open(): No such file or directory
dump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted

     It seems that the disk is having HW problems. Can I save 
     the contents of the disk before it is completely dies?
     How can I save it to a tape or disk? Please specify the
     necessary commands. The machine is still in operation.

     Regards,
     Kumar
