thanks Fabian for your answer. i don't know what exactly information is needed but i tell what i did up to now.
i have two partition, one is encrypted and the other one is not. the unencrypted partition has boot folder. when i copy FreeBSD base system files, FreeBSD start up correctly but when i restore dump files, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly. i hope this information help to understand what is wrong. thanks On 9/29/12, Fabian Keil <freebsd-lis...@fabiankeil.de> wrote: > s m <sam.gh1...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> I backed up my freeBSD 8.2 box by dump command and now want to restore >> this dump file on an encrypted file system (i used geli to encrypt my >> file system) but do not know how to do that. >> >> is there any way or command to restore an unencrypted dump on an >> encrypted file system? i tried to restore my dump file as when file >> system is unencrypted. > > Can you read the files after attaching the provider manually? > >> this is what i've doe: I decrypted my encrypted file system by "geli >> attach" command, then mount it and restore dumps. but when i restart >> my system, FreeBSD doesn't start up correctly (PXE boot menu is shown >> and when i select freeBSD, boot.config runs but nothing happend). > > You do not provide enough information to give a meaningful answer. > > One possible mistake would be putting the kernel itself on > the encrypted file system, but the list of things one can > do wrong is pretty long. > > Fabian > _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
