OpenBSD 4.1 on i386 using GENERIC kernel Hi:
I backed up /etc using the command: # dump -f /mnt/bsd/OpenBSDEtc.dump /etc when I do and interactive restore like so: # cd /root # restore -i -f /mnt/bsd/OpenBSDEtc.dump I extract the files fstab, printcap, sysctl.conf and xorg.conf. I then copy fstab and printcap to /etc and look at the old sysctl.conf and make modifications to the new sysctl.conf. Since I have softdeps in the new (copied) fstab, I delete the temporary etc in /root/etc and then reboot the computer. Upon booting, I see messages that database files are missing. I login and see that /var is the same as /tmp. What am I doing wrong here? I have read through the backup sections in Evie Nemeth's purple book and also the UNIX Sys Admin book by Aileen Frisch. I thought interactive restore was pretty straightforward. Are the original inodes being preserved? Also the man page says that there is a temporary fi;e called "restoresymtable". I did a find / -name "restoresymtable", before I rebooted, and nothing turned up. -- Kind regards, Jonathan _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
