If you dump a 50GB /usr file system that has only 2GB of files in it to
a second drive, does the second drive need to be 50GB too or can dump to
a 20GB drive?
Do I need to create directories on the second drive (i.e. dump_of_root,
dump_of_home etc..) or does dump create those automatically?
When I try to dump / to a second drive, I get the following error:
#dump -0u -f /dev/ad2s1e /
DUMP: Date of this level 0 dump: Thu Aug 1 23:48:19 2002
DUMP: Date of last level 0 dump: the epoch
DUMP: Dumping /dev/ad0s1a (/) to /dev/ad2s1e
DUMP: mapping (Pass I) [regular files]
DUMP: mapping (Pass II) [directories]
DUMP: estimated 61792 tape blocks on 1.59 tape(s).
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/ad2s1e".
DUMP: Do you want to retry the open?: ("yes" or "no") y
DUMP: Cannot open output "/dev/ad2s1e".
I get the same error if I try to dump into a folder:
dump -0u -f /dev/ad2s1e/dump_of_root /
Why can't dump write to the second drive?
TIA for any help.
