I wish to convert my 4.0D 4100 running all ADVFS filesystems OS partitions
from ADVFS to UFS and wish to sanity check my procedure.
make vdumps of both / and /usr. (/var is under /usr).
disklabel a new disk and mount it the "a" partition on /mnt.
vrestore the / vdump into /mnt.
edit the /mnt/etc/fstab to reflect the new non ADVFS / and /usr.
edit the /mnt/etc/fdmns and delete the dirs/links for / and /usr
mount the "g" partition and do a vrestore of /usr dump.
boot the new disk. The remaining ADVFS disks should get picked up
did I miss anything? Is there any issues with vrestoring onto a UFS
partition? Is there anything else under / or /usr that I need to edit to
undo ADVFS?
Any insight/help would be greatly appreciated.
