I have a Solaris 7 (sparc) box with a fairly large UFS data partition.
It's currently mounted without UFS logging. I'd like to add
logging without rebooting, with mount -o remount,logging ...
I've tried this on a test filesystem, and it seems to work.
However, the mount_ufs man page says the FS should be read-only:
remount Remounts a read-only file system as
read-write (using the rw option). This
option can be used only in conjunction
with the f, logging|nologging, m, and
noatime options. This option works only
on currently mounted read-only file sys-
tems.
I searched around, and there's some mention that the OS will try
to temporarily lock the filesystem so that it works, and let
you know if it can't.
So, is it copacetic to add UFS logging on the fly in this way?
Thanks.
-David
