I did something like this. Can't find my notes but I think you need to
rename hard links but not soft links. For example I was mounting my 2nd
disk's filesystems under /a so had to tell the hard links to link to
/a/<link> to get the correct inode no. but I wanted the soft links to still
be "/a/<softlink> --> /<original-file>. This way everything points to the
correct places when you boot off the 2nd disk.
Like other people have said, you need to make sure the
filesystems/partitioning on the 2nd disk are the same as the 1st.
Hi All,
I am trying to restore from a root file system backup (/, /usr, /opt,
/export/home and /var) directories to another disk on the same client so
that I can boot off the second disk. When you do the restore, do you click
on the rename hard links and rename soft links? (I am using Java GUI,
jnbSA)
When I rename softlinks I get a "Cross-device link" error in my restores and
they are partially successful. I think the hard links need to be checked.
When I boot off the restored disk after installing bootblk and editing the
entries in the /etc/vfstab file, I get the following error and the system
freezes.
Any help on restoring the system boot disk in a solaris environment would be
very helpful to me, othewise my backup is of no use.
Rebooting with command: boot /pci@1f,0/pci@1/scsi@3,1/disk@6,0 -s
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@! 1/! scsi@3,1/disk@6,0 File and args: -s
