Yes jlliagre, my linux box is of x86_64. I read that with the difference in endianness we cannot mount sparc slices onto intel buut, I am still checking that if this is a *dead end* or is there a way to go about this!!
Thanks for the helpful information.

I need to shrink a UFS slice with NetBSD on SPARC. seems the only way is backup+reformat. can someone please give me exact commands for that? presumably backup is file-by-file instead of sector-by-sector, but how to preserve permissions/dates/attributes.. ? thanks. (0 Replies)

switch_root
SWITCH_ROOT(8) System Administration SWITCH_ROOT(8)
NAME
switch_root - switch to another filesystem as the root of the mount tree
SYNOPSIS
switch_root [-hV]
switch_root newroot init [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
switch_root moves already mounted /proc, /dev, /sys and /run to newroot and makes newroot the new root filesystem and starts init process.
WARNING: switch_root removes recursively all files and directories on the current root filesystem.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit.
RETURN VALUE
switch_root returns 0 on success and 1 on failure.
NOTES
switch_root will fail to function if newroot is not the root of a mount. If you want to switch root into a directory that does not meet
this requirement then you can first use a bind-mounting trick to turn any directory into a mount point:
mount --bind $DIR $DIR

AVAILABILITY
The switch_root command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
