Partition problem

Hi,

I have a solaris box running the following (uname -a)
SunOS ora-wmac 5.6 Generic_105181-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-60

I recently had to replace a disk and resize/moce some partitions about. Now
on 2 of my partitions I get funny outcomes when I use ufsdump to backup the
partitions.

I have the following partitions on my disk2:
c0t1d0s0 mounted on /orafiles
c0t1d0s1 mounted on /logs.

These seem to be ok in normal filesystem activity except when i use ufsdump.

ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /orafiles
or
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0

both cause a dump of /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s1 (/logs)

ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0
works correctly.

like wise:
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /logs
or
ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s1

both cause a dump of /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2

ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s1
works correctly.

All other partitions seem to backup ok - also on other systems where I have
moved/resized partitions in the same way.

What could be causing this and how can i fix it?

thanks

Tim

Check your /etc/vfstab and see if the first two columns match up for
these file-systems (they should only differ in /dsk/ <-> /rdsk/).

you're right!
