How is that different from vos copy ?

Re: [OpenAFS] inode to namei process
if the goal is to make a copy of a quiescent RW volume, you could do a 'vos dump' of the .backup volume, piped to a 'vos restore'. as in 'vos dump volume.whatever.backup' | 'vos restore volume.newname' using appropriate arguments. if the goal is to make a volume unavailable for a short time, you would need to do something else. anne Jeff Blaine wrote: Is there a good way to dump and restore active RW volumes?

It's already doing the lock, dump, restore, unlock dance. ___ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
