Hi,
I only want to understand:
A)Problem manipulating disks:
With diskconfig disk was partitioned and ADVFS on rz1a. Forgot
boot. Tried as I did in the past(and that worked):
bash# disklabel -rw -t advfs /dev/rrz1a RZ28S sys rzaboot.advfs
bootrza.advfs
This gave the message:
disklabel: ioctl DIOCSDINFO: Open partition would move or shrink
Use alternate partition
What does this message mean? I tried different method with
disklabel also with a saved partition table file, always
unsuccessful. Why?
(Solution was to make it bootable with diskconfig)
B)Vdump | vrestore command:
The following command worked in the past (V3.5?) but not now
(V4.0A):
bash# cd /usr ; vdump -0f - . | (cd /r0d ; vrestore -xf -)
path : /usr
dev/fset : user_domain#user
type : advfs
advfs id : 0x321d799b.0007dd00.1
vdump: . is not a mounted fileset; mount fileset or use -D to dump.
vrestore: unable to use save-set; invalid or corrupt format
Why?
But this one works:
bash# vdump -0f - /usr | (cd /r0d ; vrestore -xf -)
path : /usr
dev/fset : user_domain#user
type : advfs
advfs id : 0x321d799b.0007dd00.1
vdump: Date of last level 0 dump: the start of the epoch
vdump: Dumping directories
Did there something change?
Regards
Otto
