Hello,

For the first time in my life, I've gotten the following error from dump:

  <stuff deleted>
  DUMP: (This should not happen)bread from /dev/rxd1g [block 997600]: count=8192
, got=-1
  DUMP: 68.36% done, finished in 0:06

  DUMP: (This should not happen)bread from /dev/rxd1g [block 992144]: count=8192

This is happening consistently. Are these bad blocks that I need to map out?
I'm sure this is a straightforward thing that many of you have seen before....

I'm on a Sun 4/260 running SunOS 4.0.3.

Please respond to jar@apple.com.
