I have a serious problem. For reasons which I won't go into
here, I wanted to move my system (Tru64 v4.0E) from one disk
(rz1) to another (rz0). I believe that I did everything
correctly, however, when I tried to boot from DKA0 it
mounted /dev/rz1a as / and when I booted from the original
DKA100 it mounted /dev/rz0a as / BUT I can only mount it
read-only and I can't get out of single-user mode.
The command
# mount -u /
is greeted with:
specified device does not match mounted device.
I get his message at boot too.
The only mistake that I know that I made is that when I edited
the /etc/fstab file I forgot to change the swap device from
/dev/rz1b to /dev/rz0b and similarly I did not change the
swap partition definitions in /etc/rc.config.
Can anybody guess what I did wrong and if it is the issue of
swap, how do I fix it since I cannot get out of the read-only
state for the file system. I did try swapon /dev/rz0b
Any help or advice would be much appreciated and yes, I do feel
pretty foolish.
Thanks,
Peter
