Instead of using cpio which isn't sparse file aware, use ufsdump/ufsrestore to backup your directories. Make also sure you backup stable data by either locking the filesystem (lockfs) or creating a snapshot of it (fssnap).
Determining if an OS is using 32 or 64 bits
This may be our number one question. Sadly I have not been able to find a definitive answer for Linux. If you have a Linux solution, please post it in our Linux forum. I will edit this post to include it.

I have never heard of this before but someone at work here says there is a command to find files that are under currently mounted filesystems. Does anyone know what this command is and is it available on HP-UX? (3 Replies)
Hi all,
Am writing a script that does a rm/mv if a file exist, however, in one scenario, one of the variables which is supposed to a variable for a directory is undefined/blank so instead of the variable resolving to /tmp/logfile.dmp, it resolves instead to / so the rm translates to a rm /... (2 Replies)

I wanted to know whether all files under /tmp can be safely removed. I guess that /tmp may also have temporary files for applications currently being worked on, so at the most those applications may just shut down.

I use this command :

Hey Guys,
I'm swamped writing code for the forums:

local-filesystems
local-filesystems(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual local-filesystems(7)NAME
local-filesystems - event signalling that local filesystems have been mounted
SYNOPSIS
local-filesystems [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The local-filesystems event is generated by the mountall(8) daemon after it has mounted all local filesystems listed in fstab(5). moun-
tall(8) emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
activity.
This event is typically used by services that must be started in order for remote filesystems, if any, to be activated. Remember that some
users may not consider it wrong to place /usr on a remote filesystem. For most normal services the filesystem(7) event is sufficient.
This event will never occur before the virtual-filesystems(7) event.
EXAMPLE
A service that wishes to be running once local filesystems are mounted might use:
start on local-filesystems
