multi-volume usr_domain bad idea

Hi,

I have an AlphaServer 1000A running DU4.0D patch kit #1.

I recently was talking to DEC software support about an issue on my system.
 During the discussion, it came out that the way I set up usr_domain may
cause problems. Multiple volumes on usr_domain is not a good idea. The
addvol command is in /usr, so if there was a problem and a need to restore,
the second volume would not be able to be added.

Therefore, I would like to seperate the 2 volumes into seperate domains.
usr_domain currently consists of rz0g and rz3g. I'd like usr_domain on
rz0g and local_domain on rz3g. I figure the below command should do the
trick. Is there anything I am missing or should be aware of?

vdump -D /usr/local -f /work/local.dump
rm -r /usr/local
rmvol /dev/rz3g usr_domain
mkfdmn -x 2048 -p 2048 /dev/rz3g local_domain
mount /dev/rz3g /usr/local
cd /usr/local
vrestore -f/work/local.dump
(edit fstab to reflect changes)
