Dumping /usr to samba mounted drive

[Mike Loiterman]

I'm having trouble dumping /usr to a samba mounted drive.  The process dies
over processing 4 gigs worth of data.

My other partitions dump fine, but they're all less than 4 gigs.

This is the error I'm getting:

DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Fri Feb  3 03:31:05 2006 
   DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch 
   DUMP: Dumping snapshot of /dev/ar0s1f (/usr) to /mnt/backup/usr-dump-l0

   DUMP: write error 4194320 blocks into volume 1 

The same thing happens, although I get different errors, if I use bzip2 or
gunzip to compress the partition as it is being dumped.  It obviously gets a
lot further since it's compressed, but it still dies right around 4 gigs.

How can I fix this?  Is this a samba limitation?
