Hello,
first of all: THANK YOU VERY MUCH - I'm impressed by your suggestions. I
received a lot of mails regarding my further task to quickly swap a
drive which contains the root filesystem again a fresh one of the same
size. I had no idea how to make the new disk bootable after I restored
the data using vdump | vrestore.
The most suggested solutions were "disklabel -t" and use dd to make a
one to one copy of the disks. Dirk Bergl dbergl_at_dbtech.com.au
<mailto:dbergl_at_dbtech.com.au pointed me to his SUMMARY of nearly thesame
problem
http://www.ornl.gov/its/archives/mailing-lists/tru64-unix-managers/1999/
08/msg00055.html which probably described best a working solution.
best regards and my best whishes for everybody how replied!
Dirk Nerling
