After much help from the group (Thanks all!) I seem to have narrowed this down to a file size problem. When I trussed the following command: # truss ufsdump 0f /dev/rmt/2 /zoso/pc_image/C.diskimage | tee I got: llseek(3, 0x000000070AE94000, SEEK_SET) = 0x70AE94000 read(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\t02 U <E2B8 g".., 8192) = 8192 llseek(3, 0x000000070DA06000, SEEK_SET) = 0x70DA06000 read(3, "\0\0\0\0\0\t02 U <E2B8 g".., 8192) = 8192 DUMP: Mapping (Pass I) [regular files] write(2, " D U M P : M a p p".., 41) = 41 stat64("/zoso/pc_image/C.diskimage", 0xFFBEE0E8) = 0 stat("/zoso/pc_image/C.diskimage", 0xFFBEDBF0) Err#79 EOVERFLOW DUMP: Cannot find filesystem mount point for `/zoso/pc_image/C.diskimage' write(2, " D U M P : C a n n".., 76) = 76 getuid() = 0 [0] seteuid(0) = 0 DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted. write(2, " D U M P : T h e ".., 36) = 36 llseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 83209 _exit(3) which I assume points to the file being too big. I sized my image on this go round to 10GB so as to not outgrow it and apparently ufsdump, in spite of being declared "large file aware' in the largefile man page, really doesn't like a file this size. I did find that you can compress the SUNPCi image quite nicely (careful- you need a updated version of gzip to handle a file this size and unlike compress, gzip wipes the original leaving only the compressed version). My 10GB image, which is only a 2.8GB C drive in Win2k, compresses down to 1.5GB. -craig _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Thu May 16 09:31:38 2002
