Data Mounting advfs in single-user mode

Hi!

I am trying to mount a file system (advfs) in single-user mode. The goal is to make a vdump of the partition
The command I am using is:
mount -t advfs domain#gaston /usr/local/gaston

But appears the following error:
No such domain, file....

Any help?

Thanks in advance

check to see if the domain#gaston is valid. Why because your syntax is correct. Could be the domain name is invalid.

# mount -t advfs usr_domain#usr /usr

Also , one doubt. have you create the usr_domain file domain, and create the usr fileset

Ex.
# mkfdmn /usr/local/gaston domain#gaston
# mkfset domain#gaston usr

Thanks killerserv
Well, about your doubt...No, I am just trying to mount it. I mean, Every time I mount a advfs partition I SHOULD to make the file domain and the usr file set?.

Thanks
