Thanks for all the replies;
As you most of you noted in your replies, I would have done whatever I
was going to do before I got them. Yes, that was true, but... If what I
was doing went very wrong, I would have had better solutions to work with.
As it turned out;
I had stashed away a completed copy of the partition sizes down to the
cylinder and filesystem layout etc..
I had a machine, I had half set up for disaster recovery, which with a
little panic work, that took over the load for the weekend.
I am happy to say that once I had re-done the installation and restored
the dfstab I was well on the way the way to getting it back up.
The machine consequently recieved an upgrade at the same time, then was
as good as any, and came out better than before!!!
All responses have been studied and I am compiling a better disaster
recovery plan for the future. I noticed from them that all all pertain to
different situations and in some case different architectures, so I wont
list them all, but thank you all the same.
All is Well :)
Steve..
