All...
I am repartitioning the boot disk on a production 8400. I have a procedure
which I have tested several times on a 4100 and it works fine. Guess what,
on the 8400 it dosent work - only problem is - I have zapped the o/s disk.
Heres the problem.
I have repartitioned ok, booted from cd (v4.0d) in unix shell option.
I have created a domain (newroot_domain) using rz1a and a file set (root)
within this domain. I have mounted newroot_domain#root on /tmp/newroot just
fine. I have restored by vdump of / and its ok.
Doing the same on newusr_domain#usr mounted on /tmp/newusr. The vrestore
fails as follows:
# df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_device 1269214 1020818 248396 81% /
mfs:6 4926 44 4882 1% /var
mfs:13 222 76 146 35% /dev
newusr_domain#usr 8380064 32 8345968 1%
/var/tmp/newusr
# vrestore -xf /dev/nrmt0h -D /tmp/newusr
vrestore: Date of the vdump save-set: Wed Aug 25 15:36:42 1999
/var: file system full
/var: write failed, file system is full
vrestore: dir_write() error; [28] No space left on device; terminating
First time thru I thought I had made a mistake and not restored to the
correct place, so I deleted the domain etc and recreated it. However it
fails same time around again.
I cant see any reason why this should happen. Any ideas? The only
difference between this and the test box I used is (apart from one being a
4100 and the other an 8400) is that the 8400 has 'loads' of i/o adapters and
the 4100 didnt:
# scu show edt | wc -l
147
I'm struggling at this point - any help would be appreciated.
