Hi,

I am trying to restore a full system, which I backup with the ufsdump command, in to a different unix box.
I partitioned that box(second one) exactly the same as the first one and install the same version of operation system(solaris 7).

I have backed up the first system with:

<pre>

mt -f /dev/rmt/0cn rewind

ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0cn /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3
</pre>

and put everything in to same tape.
Below you can see :

<pre>

</pre>

The problem is that when I try to restore the (root) / and /var
directories the system core dumps and gives me a bus error.
I went through SUN and "ufsrestore procedure for restoring / and /usr" but it says somewhere that I have to unmount the
file system and create a new file system with newfs.
I can NOT do the umount for / or /var.
I get that the / or /var are busy or already mounted.
What can I do for this ?? I am in / directory when I do that.

I use 'ufsrestore srv 7' for example for the /u04 partition
and it works fine. It does the restore without problems.
The same with all the rest apart from /var and /.
Can anyone help please ??

Thank you.
