mksysb is basically a "savevg rootvg", so there is no need to exclude such mount points because the backup process would stop on VG boundaries anyways. If you haven't included the mount points you will have to manually recreate them. Write a script which does that for you, complete with ownership, rights, filemodes, etc., so you could use it to restore them in case you need them again.

I hope this helps.

mkill

MKILL(8)						       The SuSE boot concept							  MKILL(8)

MKILL

       Mkill - Send processes making a active mount point busy a signal

SYNOPSIS

       mkill [-SIG] [-u] /mnt1 [/mnt2...]
       mkill [-l]

DESCRIPTION

       mkill  determines  all  active  mount points from /proc/mounts and compares this with the specified mount points. Then mkill seeks for pro-
       cesses making this mount points busy. For this search only the links found in /proc/<pid>/ are used to avoid hangs  on  files  provided	by
       network	file  systems  like nfs(5).  The default signal is SIGTERM for termination. If a mount point is not active, that is that it is not
       found in /proc/mounts, mkill will do exactly nothing.

OPTIONS

       -<SIG> Signals  can be specified either by name (e.g. -HUP, -SIGHUP) or by number (e.g. -1).

       -0     The special signal 0 force mkill to list all processes making the specified mount point busy.

       -u     Perform a lazy umount on the specified mount points before sending the signal SIGTERM or SIGKILL.

       -l     List all known signals.

EXAMPLES

       mkill -TERM /var

       This will terminate all processes accessing a seperate /var partition.

       mkill -HUP /dev/pts

       All processes using a pseudo-terminal slave will hangup.

RETURN VALUE

       Always success which is that zero is returned.
