First, I'm quite new at this. 2 Seagate 8 GB SCSI Ultra Wide off an Adptec 2940 UW. FeeBSD 3.4 Complete new setup and no extra data on drives that didn't come with the=20 install CD. I realized I wanted to turn my /usr 16 GB slice into a vinum mirror to th= e=20 other drive so I thought I could use dump/restore commands first move /us= r to a=20 small 1 gb slice, create the vinum slice and copy it back. Also gives me = good=20 experience playing with dump/restore and vinum before turning users loose= on=20 the box. Well and I'm done playing and now need some help please. I searched back through some other posts and attempted the following: Current /usr slice da0s1f Create new slice on da1s1f Boot to single user mode fsck -y / fsck -y /dev/da0s1f fsck -y /dev/da1s1f Clean on all mount -u / mount /dev/da1s1f /mnt =46rom this point I tried 2 different dump/restore commands, both seem to= have=20 trouble with the restore portion. Attempt 1 dump -0f - /dev/da0s1f | (cd /mnt; restore -xf -) We get past "Dump:dumping (Pass iv) "=20 Then a multiple of ' <file name> cannot create file no such directory ' e= rrors. Then a multiple of ' <file name> cannot create hard link no such director= y '=20 errors. Then : set owner . y/n: I answer y /mnt now appears to contain some of the sub-directory tree but not all of= it. Attempt 2 dump -0f - /dev/da0s1f | restore -rf - Gets past 'dump:dumping (Pass IV) again then after a few minutes then a=20 multitude of file names with the error 'unable to create device not confi= gured' fopen: device not configured. another pause with a message 'invalidating pack' and finally 'cannot create savefile ./resoresymtable for symbol table' I have also tried doing the dump and restore separately and can create a = dump=20 file on disk but the restore from disk file runs for a bit then asks for = a tape=20 which I can't get around. Any thoughts ?? Thanks, John... (Ignore the Visto footnote) ______________________________________________________________________ Get Visto.com!
