Oops, sorry, I was using a web interface emailer. This should work now

Great, it looks fine. swapinfo was exactly what I needed.

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.
