| Try "mount -u /" (but I don't hold out much hope for that)
Borrow a bootable disk from someone else and attach it to your system.
Boot into single user mode. Then create the proper
/etc/fdmns/any_name_you_like/rz1a soft links on the booted disk.
mkdir /etc/fdmns/any_name_you_like
cd /etc/fdmns/any_name_you_like
ln -s /dev/rz1a
Now mount the disk.
mount any_name_you_like#root /mnt
Make your fstab changes. Be careful to only make changes to your disk
and not the one you borrowed, or you might loose some friends :-)
ed /mnt/etc/fstab # make sure you get the right fstab
Remove the /etc/fdmns/any_name_you_like directory from your friends
borrowed disk.
----
Or you could take your boot disk to someone elses system and plug it
it. Make the /etc/fdmns/any_name_you_like/rz?a soft links. Mount your
disk. Make the changes.
----
AdvFS does not work with /dev/rz1a device enteries in fstab. It needs
to have the name of the domain and the file set in the domain. The
domain name it uses to find the /etc/fdmns/domain_name directory. The
file set name it uses to find the file set within the domain that is to
be mounted.
You threw this all away, so now AdfFS doesn't know what to do. And
since this is your root disk, can't find anything, so your dead.
----
I don't know if your enter was a mistype or if you really mean dump.
To properly backup an AdvFS domain you use 'vdump' and 'vrestore'.

| 8989.2 | An idea | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Brian Haley | Thu Feb 27 1997 16:01 | 15 |
| Hi,
You should be able to do this:
mount -u root_domain#root /
which should mount your AdvFS root filesystem. That's assuming your
/etc/fdmns/root_domain/rz??a link is still there.
If this fails, you can boot to the install cd, exit to the shell, MAKEDEV
your device (where / lives), mount the filesystem and edit the fstab by hand
- I've done this before :-( but I think it might only be viable with 4.X?
-Brian

| 8989.3 | ... and use /sbin/advfs/advscan to get the links back | NETRIX::"[email protected]" | Detlef Schmier | Thu Feb 27 1997 16:29 | 16 |
| Use /sbin/advfs/advscan (see man page for usage) to get your links back.
Detlef.

| ...and for future reference, dump is a UFS only command. It will *not* work with
AdvFS, whatever you do to fstab.
USe vdump/vrestore for AdvFS (and UFS).
