If I boot to single-user mode (reboot, hit space, do boot -s) and dump /usr to a file, I get read errors on a couple of blocks.


Running fsck -y (also in single user of course) did not show a problem, but it did not clear up the errors when I tried the dump again.

I thought it was safe to dump /usr in single-user mode. Will I need to boot off a CD or try another trick to get a clean dump of /usr? Or perhaps I am not using the right fsck options?

the dump command I used is:
dump 0af /someotherplace/filename.dump /usr

This seemed to work fine for / and my other filesystems.

Thanks!
