Hello,
I am trying to restore a backup of /usr created with dump using the command:
dump -0 -Lauf - / | bzip2 | dd of=root.backup
When I restore / and /var partitions, I don't have any problems. Here's how I
do it:
1. boot FreeBSD 7.0 live CD and go to fixit mode.
2. mount /dev/ads1a partition into /mnt.
3. restore / without problems - over network using command:
ssh 192.168.1.1 cat root.backup | /mnt2/usr/bin/bzip2 -d -c | restore -vrf -
4. mount all other partitions - /dev/ad0s1f and /dev/ad0s1d under /mnt/usr and
/mnt/var
5. restore /var without problems as above.
6. when I try to restore /usr partition (with the command above), I get this
several times (cca. 10x):
/: write failed, filesystem is full
and the restore procedure proceeds, however at the end most of the
directories
under /mnt/usr are empty (but not all of them).
I guess this might be because there are many more files in /usr backup file and
restore tries to cache filenames into some file on / partition (which is in
Fixit
mode very small ramfs partition, right?). And because this cache grows too
big
restore cannot save all the filenames and therefore also cannot restore them.
How to solve this? I have also tried restoring interactively, but the result is
similar:
before I get the restore's command prompt, I get those filesystem is full
errors and
if I walk through the directories of the archive with cd and ls, most of
directories
are empty.
Thanks,
Nejc
