Andy, my excuses, I didn't really appreciate your input in my earlier mail !
[i]I can't get to the console of a system to take it to single user, but you might try "svcadm enable -tr filesystem/local" or "zfs mount -a". [/i] Both work properly. Half of the job done; now I have the new home mounted, but inactive. So I can rm -Rf * or similar there; in order to 'cp -a' the content of the old home to the new home. Still the other half is unresolved: How do I mount the old home which is in no fstab (mnttab), on c0d1s1 ? I can only think of rebooting to the old system, also single user, also 'mount -a'; but then, how to store the files ? In the archives here I read that GNU-tar does not handle all the features ! Which is why I'd like to mount both home-s, old and new, at the same time; hoping that 'cp -a' will be complete. [i]One caveat here is that I could not find a way to back up the base of the zpool "u01" into the base of zpool "u02". i.e. zfs snapshot [EMAIL PROTECTED] zfs send [EMAIL PROTECTED] | zfs receive u02 Does not work because "u02" already exists - the receive must be done into a brand new zfs. (It will create the zfs) I suppose you could get around this by creating a new zfs and "mv * ../." from there.[/i] Meaning, I'd have to add another hard disk as temporary storage ? And here, my 'venerable' problem comes up again: How do I address that additional storage; let's say /dev/dsk/c2t0d0p3 ? If I don't give a partition, it might not work or overwrite my data; and currently I have no completely empty, new drive, and there is no Solaris partition on my current USB drive, neither free space to partition it. Or, I could destroy the existing, new-to-be home slice (I don't need the data) and write directly to there. How would I do that ? Uwe P.S.: Just as a reminder: 'old': '/' c0d1s0 (ufs) home c0d1s1 (zfs) 'new': '/' c0d0s0 (ufs) home c0d0s7 (zfs) Question: How do I make a full copy of old home to new home; without either being active, and none in the fstab / mnttab of the other system ? And no, I don't want to *extend* the home to old and new. Just copy, and then fdisk c0d1.
