Hi,
first, its a STRANGE message not an ERROR message.
second, for my reading it means the following:
You are using vxdump on an active filesystem, and some files
changed while the dump was done.
these files won't be correct revoverable, but most of your
dump should be ok.
if you use any version of dump keep in mind it was designed
to take backups from an inactive filesystem,
either unmounted or mounted read-only.
Nevertheless most dump-programs do a good job on more or
less active filesystems.
Most backups will be recoverable fine, but some files/dir's
may be corrupted badly.
If you can't live with that, take your servers to single-user-mode
before running backups or use tar, or snapshots, or whatever
tools exist for your filesystem to freeze them or get snapshots.
This task pop's up 2 or 3 times a year on the list, so for the
various arguments on which program to use best, please read the
list-archives.
