Oggetto: Disk error


Hello,
I get the following error when I execute the command

# dump -u0 -f /dev/ntape/tape0_d1 /

dump: Dumping from host pswxxx.psi.ch
dump: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Dec 7 15:41:04 2005 MET
dump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
dump: Dumping root_domain#root (/) to /dev/ntape/tape0_d1
dump:
dump: Cannot open file-system file root_domain#root
dump: Bad file system specification or bad file system. The raw device must
dump: be entered when the file system's pathname has not been entered in the
dump: fstab file. A bad file system is reported when the the magic number
dump: is not found in the super block.
main(): open(): No such file or directory
dump: The ENTIRE dump is aborted

It seems that the disk is having HW problems. Can I save
the contents of the disk before it is completely dies?
How can I save it to a tape or disk? Please specify the
necessary commands. The machine is still in operation.

Regards,
Kumar
