Joshua, No, in fact the host is running the 2.4.7-10smp kernel that was originally installed. I'm anticipating replacing this machine with new hardware sometime this year, so I think I'll just switch to tar until I can rip it out. Strangely, most of my clients are 2.4.x Linux machines, and this is the only one I've had a problem with using dump. MMMV (My Mileage Must Vary). ;) Thanks! Eric
