I'm still trying to get a backup strategy in place for my Sparc 5 running slink. I decided to use tar to create a copy of my root disk, just to get a viable backup going, then revisit the issue of getting either rsh or ssh running.
I had sda set up with root, swap, and two other partitions; even with gzipping the tar file, it was still too big to fit on either of the final two partitions, so I decided to consolidate them into a single partition. Problem is that I get the following error message every time I try to write the updated partition table from fdisk: Calling ioctl() to re-read partition table. Syncing disks. Re-read table failed with error 16: Device or resource busy. Reboot your system to ensure the partition table is updated. This happens even when I've made no changes, just start fdisk and write. I tried using mke2fs after creating a single final partition, writing the table, and rebooting; fdisk showed the big partition, but when I mounted it, df showed it to be the same size as it was before the repartition. --Walter Keeler [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************* Walter Keeler * If my words did glow... * San Francisco, CA *******************************
