I want to getting dump from slash in fixit environment. But it says that it can't open /etc/fstab. Who can help me? Please say your ideas and different commands that you know.
1. Are you doing this from a livefs disc?
2. Are you sure the right disk's a partition is mounted?
3. Are you accessing the right /etc/fstab file, i.e. the one on the target disk, not the one on the running livefs system?
Well, as wblock already said, dump(8) can use partitions directly so you shouldn't need any access to a /etc/fstab file.
/etc/fstab is usually needed when using dump with mount points for dumping currently mounted partitions (see 1). When running within a live system you usually use devices (see 2).
