Hello, folks.
Let me introduce You to my problem.
I have FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE installed on a single box at my office.
Recently I tried to make a full backup of this box to a single
CD. Everything was OK, until I've tried to restore the / volume to the
HDD back from a CD.
Here are my actions step by step.
root(mybox)/stand>mount /dev/ad0s3a /mnt
root(mybox)/stand>mount_cd9660 /dev/acd0c /cdrom
root(mybox)/stand>cp -rpf /cdrom/stand /mnt/stand
After some while I've received the message of a kind
/mnt: write failed, file system is full
cp: /mnt/stand/slattach: No space left on device
When I began to investigate the problem I have found a curious thing with
/stand tree.
root(mybox)/stand>cd /cdrom
root(mybox)/cdrom>ls -1Fa

The question itself is the following:
How the /stand tree is organized, what are all those files (maybe some
links or something of a kind)?
Is there any way to generate this part of the directory tree
preperly(e. g. after it was lost or removed)?
Is there any recommenations about how to make the proper backup/restore
of this part of the tree?
Great thanks in advance for all kinds of info on this subj.
With respect, Ilya V. Serov,
St-Petersburg, Russia.
