bad sblock messages usually mean that whatever you're trying to dump doesn't
have a superblock. Every time I've seen it it's because of a problem in the
parameter list (i.e. a typo). 

In this case, it's because the file specification is wrong. A/UX's dump.bsd
doesn't understand '/' as a filesystem, opens up '/' as a special device and
tries to read the superblock out of it, which doesn't work.

instead of 

# dump.bsd 0uf /dev/null /

you should use

# dump.bsd 0uf /dev/null /dev/dsk/c0d0s0

and it'll work (at least, on my box).

Note: some versions of dump do accept '/', others don't. This one doesn't.
Confusing as hell until you figure it out, but invariably the sblock
message is because whatever filespec it's given to back up isn't a special
device.

What makes it worse is when they _stop_ supporting A/UX, as in your example
when they have drivers for 2.0.x but not 3.0.x... Not Nice at all.

Such a list may not belong in the FAQ but I'll either include it in their
or, at least, maintain the list and post it twice a month with the FAQ.

I posted at length about this some time ago. Basically, A/UX is fine for
occasional light use, but for real work, telnet and rlogin are hopeless.
Not only are the deamons littered with bad bugs, but the kernel is too.

Apple made one attempt to fix the problem which failed.

John Coolidge ported the Berkeley telnet and telnetd to A/UX, and the port is
available on wuarchive. It's your only option.

The telnetd doesn't have the horrible bugs in A/UX's telnetd. It does have
problems with telnet Synch, and maybe one other control character, but neither
problem is terribly serious. More importantly, it doesn't provoke the kernel
problems that crash A/UX or lock out ptys or mix up which pty belongs to which
telnet session (!!) - a terrible security risk.

Forget rlogin, unless you port it over yourself.

I should stress that the problems are in the daemons. I've encountered no
problems in the clients, rlogin and telnet, themselves. So it's only when
an A/UX box is the _target_ that you have a problem.

I finally got around to doing a backup ... :-)

Here's what happened:

	# rdump 0uf sc:/dev/rmt0h /
	  DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Wed Aug 26 16:25:02 1992
	  DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch

  ==>	  DUMP: bad sblock magic number
	  DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

I also tried 'dump 0uf >/dev/null' with similar results.

I assume the "sblock" is the superblock.  I ran 'fsck' on root, and it
passed with flying colors.  I also rebooted, tried to dump again, and
got the same error message.

Two questions:

	o  What's wrong?

  and	o  How can I fix it?

Thanks for any suggestions!

  \circle has only 7 fontdimen parameters.

  Can anyone tell me what these mean. Or more to the point, do they matter,

Forget it. You're wasting your time. If you're really lucky, one of the
engineers who knows that area will hear, in which case s/he'll probably
try to fix it, _if_ the time is available (according to group leaders or
whatever they're called), and may actually let you know and have a patch
before 3.1 or 4.0 comes out.

Apple has already blown it in the Unix market so badly that there's no chance
they'll ever succeed, unless possibly the PowerRISC machine is an incredible
hit. One of the reasons for this is that they don't behave like a "big Unix
vendor" ought to. And bug reports are a prime example of this kind of problem.

*Flame Off*

A/UX's biggest problem is that they work so hard on future versions that they
never have time for the current version. This has been true since V1.0. The
probable cause of this is a significant lack of manpower.

Date: Sun, 30 Aug 92 12:41:33 PDT
Organization: The Portal System (TM)
Distribution: usa

Hello all,

I have recently installed A/UX 3.0 on an fx in a network
involving Un*x based and NetWare based servers.  We have 
the NetWare servers routing the AFP protocols from LocalTalk 
to 10-Base-T (Ethernet).

The A/UX machine is acting as a AppleShare server using 
the file Sharing Extension in System 7.0.1.  The problem
I'm experiencing is that the A/UX machine is EXTREMELY slow
when it comes to file sharing.  It takes about 10 minutes to
copy a 10K file from a Mac on LocalTalk to the fx on Ethernet.
The NetWare servers on Ethernet are much faster.

When it comes to NFS, FTP, and Telnet, the fx is *very* fast,
so I have a feeling that the File Sharing capabilities under
A/UX 3.0 running the Finder environment are somewhat broken.

Am I the only one experiencing this kind of performance problem?
If there is a patch to this, or some workaround, I would be 
very interested in hearing about them.  Any other comments 
would also be welcome, especially if they involve A/UX 3.0 on a
Mac IIfx.

You may reply to me or this group.

Thanks,

Even more than that, lets get organized and start bugging these vendors
directly.  At least in the points made so far, the vendor had a newer product
that they claimed was supported under A/UX.  I recently got an SE/30 Ethernet
card from Dayna, that happens to use the new SONIC chipset, hence the old
SE/30 A/UX drivers don't work with the card.  And calls to Dayna have yet
to produce a solution.  Lets light some fires under these vendors!  Anyone
out there listening with a DaynaPort (or just want to help out), please call
Dayna and request they get some new A/UX drivers out for SONIC version cards.
You never know, the next machine/ethernet card you get might be one...

Dayna's customer service #: (801)531-0600  8am - 5pm MST

In return, I'll call DayStar and complain about the lack of PowerCard support.
