Bad things seem to happen in pairs...
We have a disk that is slowly failing, usually dies after 24 hours of
operations. And today I planned on moving the stuff over to another disk.
While yippie... our tape drive just went dead.
I'm not much of a sysadmin, so I am hacking my way through this.
I know it is possible to ufsdump and then pipe it to a ufsrestore with
avoiding a tape drive. BUt... how do I do this? I could sit and figure it
out, but I am getting nervous as I figure that disk is going to die soon...
My guess was something like this, but I want to be sure what is correct as
the disk is already flaky and I want to avoid hitting it too many times
trying different things.
ufsdump 0f - /dev/dsk/c1t9d0s0 | (cd /newdisk; ufsrestore rf - )
I'm unclear when/if I need to use rdsk instead of dsk.
I also just can't ufsdump to a file, as the there are no other disks large
enough to dump, then restore it to...
Help
