I hate that message; it's extremely misleading.  Besides what it
says, it can also mean that sendsize was unable to parse the
output of whatever subcommand it ran.  That in turn can be
because it used the wrong subcommand entirely (e.g.
/usr/ccs/bin/dump instead of ufsdump on a Solaris box).  Only
rarely, it seems, does "disk foo offline" actually mean that disk
foo was offline :-(

Try looking in the "amdump" file and the various debug files
(especially the sendsize* ones on the clients in question).

Unknown, but docs/UPGRADE doesn't mention it (and it does mention
an earlier incompatibility, so that'd be the place to look).  I'd
try to rule out other problems first.

When I came back around from the dark side, there in front of me would
be the landing area where the crew was, and the Earth, all in the view
of my window. I couldn't help but think that there in front of me was
all of humanity, except me.
