We have uVAX II's running 4.3 BSD. Whenever the system crashes, a crash
dump is generated which apparently is successful (judging from the
message on the console). When /etc/savecore runs to generate the vmcore
file, it aborts after reading about 1.8 of the 2meg crash image. The
message it gives is simply "read I/O error".

Can anyone give pointers as to what the problem might be?

Thanks,
