I'm trying to transfer a filesystem from a 5.0a machine to a 4.0d patch 3 system
using vdump/vrestore. I nfs mounted the original 5.0a filesystem on the 4.0d
machine and used vdump (on the 4.0d machine) to backup the data. Then I mounted
a new advfs filesystem on the 4.0d machine and am trying to restore the files
onto the new filesystem. It is only able to recreate directories and links, but
it fails to restore the files. The error it reports is:
vrestore: cannot rename temp file <_vrestore_tmp.20868> to <{true file name}>;
[18] Cross-device link
{true file name} is path name to the file -- i.e.
vrestore: cannot rename temp file <_vrestore_tmp.20868> to
<./local/teTeX/share/texmf/tex/plane/base/plain.tex>; [18] Cross-device link
The temp file is being created as I can see watching the file system, and I can
manually create files, so it doesn't seem to be a permission problem.
Anyone know why it won't work ?
Thanks,
Dirk Kleinhesselink
