Hi Everybody
The problem cleared out. I now know what, but not why :) For those of you
interested.
I have a 2nd disk in the machine (ad3) which has a backup parition (ad3f).
This partition
is mounted to a mountpoint (guess: in root) to /mnt/vol1.
For strange reasons (who knows why?) mount fails (see below), therefor the
volume gets
not mounted and the backup sits in the mountpoint directory, filling up...
/.
Btw: I moved all /modules /sbin /bin to their right places back.
Now the mount fails as showed here. The backup partition is not mountalbe,
but another,
on the same disk, is...
caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /mnt/vol1
mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted
caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /backup/slice1
mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted
caramba#
here another partition:
caramba# mount
/dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1e on /usr (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1g on /usr/www (ufs, local)
/dev/ad0s1f on /var (ufs, local)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
/dev/ad3e on /mnt/vol1 (ufs, local)
caramba# umount /mnt/vol1/
caramba#
the disklabel entry:
caramba# disklabel ad3

-- no, i can stop backups for the moment, or repoint them to another
partition, e.g.
ad3g, but why does mount not work on that respectively give operation not
permitted?
Thanks
Arie
Hi,
Are you trying to mount the backup volume as root? By default only root is
allowed to mount and unmount volumes. Also check if the mount pouint is
having write permissions when you try to mount the volume.
