Well I've tried about every method I can think of, including the ones you
suggested and they all fail after a certain size. I've given up using
dump/restore at this time and am using tar.
If I can help in anyway assisting you in diagnosing this problem please let
me know.

I tried that, I get different message, but it means about the same...
Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] n
Changing volumes on pipe input?
abort? [yn] y
dump core? [yn] y
Abort
I think this can happen if the filesystem changes in a certain way
while being dumped - we think what happens is that the last inode
it was expecting to backup is removed while the backup is in
progress.
We have some patches to improve the situation with the bad error
handling too, but I haven't committed them just yet.
David.
