Hi, I have a 3.2-stable box Pentium III 350 3 seagate scsi disks. I am trying to make a true copy of the / partition over to /altroot The two are exactly the same size on two diff disks. chflags -R noschg /altroot && \ 'rm' -rf /altroot/* /altroot/.[a-z]* && \ cd /altroot && (dump 0uf - / | restore xf - ) The above commands used to run fine for over 1.5 years on a FreeBSD 2.2 system on a Pentium 200 with 2 IDE disks. On the new box, I got system reboot while the dump/restore was goingon. It doesn't happen always, but happened twice in last 3 days, then yesterday it simply crashed the box. The system won't boot up, and complain about the bad filessytem. doing a fsck in single user mode failed. I finally commented out the /altroot filesystem, rebooted, then did a newfs on /altroot Why did the dump/resote cause filesystem errors? The reason I think these caused the problem is that they run around midnight in cron, and the system reboot happened right around 00:15 all 3 times. Also, if I want to find and/or set the ARRE AWRE flags of my scsi didks, the Lehey complete freebsd says "scsi -f /dev/DISK -m 1 -e -P 3" but the 3.2-stable has no command scsi How do I find and set this flag? Thanks, -- Shashi Joshi _____________________________________________________________________ __o o__ o__ o__ o__ There's one _ \<._ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ _.>/ _ in every (_)/ (_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) (_) \(_) crowd... _____________________________________________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
