You are completely off-base on this one. You must be running SunOS 4.0.
In SunOS 4.0 /usr is mounted read-only. So why bother going to single-
user?? No one can change /usr (although some do... but that's just a sad
story), so back it up whenever you want. But since all of us are not
running SunOS 4.0, let me just say that I have never had a problem with
full dumps done on active file systems.
