Solaris 7 restore problem
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>
isgsi01(root)40: df -k
Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on
/proc 0 0 0 0% /proc
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 1987399 936298 991480 49% /
fd 0 0 0 0% /dev/fd
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s3 962571 645814 259003 72% /var
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 962571 766780 138037 85% /home
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s5 3009327 2066073 883068 71% /u01
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 3009327 2262543 686598 77% /u02
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1 3009327 2323693 625448 79% /u03
/dev/dsk/c0t1d0s3 3009327 2938899 10242 100% /u04
swap 2761080 6592 2754488 1% /tmp
</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.
