Hi all,
I'm encountering a few problems migrating filesystems from one disk to
another, and the result is a "non-replica" :)
I'm using the tried and tested :
dump -0f - /filesystem | (cd /new_disk; restore -xf -)
and the ownership of most files (but not all) on the new disk has
changed to root. Needless to say, the users don't appreciate this :)
In case it's relevant, this is on a DEC 3000/700 running a freshly
installed DU 4.0D, and the old filesystem is one that was from it's
previous incarnation as a 3.something system (probably 3.2c).
Has any one seen this before, and does anyone have some suggestions on
how to rectify this ? I'm not real keen to have to go through and
manually fix this.
I have started a tape dump tonight and will try restoring some
directories from this in the morning and see what this does, but I
don't see why I should use this slow method when dump | restore
normally works (& would normally save a heap of time :)
Cheers, Grant.
