You are completely off-base on this one. You must be running SunOS 4.0. In SunOS 4.0 /usr is mounted read-only. So why bother going to single- user?? No one can change /usr (although some do... but that's just a sad story), so back it up whenever you want. But since all of us are not running SunOS 4.0, let me just say that I have never had a problem with full dumps done on active file systems. -greg -- Greg Onufer // Focus Semiconductor // University of the Pacific exodus@cheers.uucp (daver!cheers!exodus@Sun.COM) 415-965-0604
