Hello Managers,
On one of my Alpha 1200 Servers, I have root-disk using UFS. I wanted to
convert it to AdvFS for it's special features. I followed the following
steps:
1. I had another disk which was geometrically same as the existing root-disk.
I booted the system in single-user mode. I created 'temp_root' domain and
'root' fileset on partition 'a' of the new disk. I created 'temp_usr' domain
and 'usr' fileset on 'g' partition of the disk.
2. Mounted temp_root#root on /root1 and temp_usr#usr on /usr1.
3. Used the following command to copy the file-systems to these new
locations.
# vdump -0 -f - / | (cd /root1; vrestore -x -f -)
and # vdump -0 -f - /usr | (cd /usr1; vrestore -x -f -)
4. Created directories root_domain and usr_domain in the /etc/fdmns directory
and created the necessary links.
5. Physically moved the disk to old boot-disk slot in the system.
After this, I tried to boot. The system didn't boot and it halted after
'jumping to bootstrap code' stage. If I put the old boot-disk back, it works
absolutely fine.
Can anyone help me on this ??
TIA...
Shrihari
