Hi, I am trying to dump a file system on one machine over the net to a second machine using 'dump' over ssh, and I am aware of the potential limitations using dump as I am. The first machine is Fedora 9, the second is SuSE 11 I issue the following commands: ????????setenv RSH /usr/bin/ssh ????????/sbin/dump -L "Level 0" -0 -v -u -f root@machine2:/BckUp/BackUpPC/Machine1_Full_0.dump /dev/mapper/VolGroup00- LogVol00 from which I get the following error ? DUMP: Connection to machine2 established. ? DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Nov 28 10:26:28 2008 ? DUMP: Dumping /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 (/) to /BckUp/BackUpPC/OpenGate_Full_0.dump on host root@machine2 ? DUMP: Excluding inode 8 (journal inode) from dump ? DUMP: Excluding inode 7 (resize inode) from dump ? DUMP: Label: Level 0 ? DUMP: Writing 10 Kilobyte records ? DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files] ? DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories] ? DUMP: estimated 73855810 blocks. ? DUMP: Lost connection to remote host. At the moment I think that the problem is that even though 'dump' indicates a connection is established, no valid connection is made. At this moment, I am not sure whether the problem is with machine 1 or machine 2, i.e. the ssh_config on machine1 or sshd_config on machine2. I have modified entries in these configuration files, but with no effect. I can ssh/scp/sftp from machine1 to machine2 without any problems. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
