Looks like you are trying to tell dump to dump a subdirectory rather than a volume/partition ?
I assume /home/mysql is not a mount point for a drive but a sub-dir on a paritiion. Change your disklist entry (DLE) to be the name of a drive. On my machine an example of one drive would be: In my disklist: ncti103 sd2g comp-user 2 >From my Unix "df" command: /dev/sd2g 8258270 562030 7283326 7% /data9 Scott... Scott R.
