The "dump" program is giving me a strange error message and I 
do'nt know what I am supposed to do about it. The message is:-

 DUMP: 73.87% done, finished in 0:33
 DUMP: (This should not happen)bread from /dev/rdsk/0s1 [block 509704]: count=5120, got=3072
 DUMP: 77.73% done, finished in 0:28

The dump does not abort but continues to the end.

I am dumping a SCSI disk on a 9000/400s using HP-UX 7.0.3.
I have run "fsck" on the file system with no problems reported.
The "dump" error message always reports the same block number.

I am new to HP-UX and any help would be greatly appreciated.
