Please wrap your lines at 70 characters so your emails can be easily read.
Oops, sorry, I was using a web interface emailer. This should work now (Eudora).
swap partitions are not mounted, because they're not filesystems. Use swapinfo to check swap configuration.
Great, it looks fine. swapinfo was exactly what I needed.

With 256MB of RAM, dump should not be touching swap. It sounds like you have some other problem that you need to investigate more fully.

You are correct. I do not know what the heck happened, but after triple checking fsck and a remount of filesystems, all is fine. I was able to perform a dump with no errors. Thanks.
Now, if I can just get restore to read the dumped tape.... I am getting an I/O error that it cannot read the tape, something about block size difference. I'll research that now.
Thank you for your help.
