For large filesystems, there isn't enough space in /tmp in the fixit environment. Either mount a filesystem on /tmp, or replace /tmp with a symlink to somewhere where there is enough free space. From your description, it sounds like you could use the restored / filsystem that is already mounted (you said on /mnt/da0s1a). e.g: cd / mv tmp tmp.old ln -s /mnt/da0s1a/tmp tmp and then procede with the restore to /mnt/da0s1f. Alternatively you could mount a MFS filesystem on /tmp swapon /dev/da0s1b mount_mfs /dev/da0s1b /tmp or maybe even just use a fixed-size MFS filesystem with: mount_mfs -T fd1440 none /tmp Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
