Good afternoon. One of my fellow workers asked my to post the following query. I hope that someone can help him. >>>>>>>>>>>>>> NCR O/S ROOT FILESYSTEM NOMENCLATURE INQUIRY: In normal installation of NCR O/S 2.01+ or 2.00+ for NCR Tower-32 systems, the root filesystem is normally designated /dev/dsk/0s1. However, if a full-system cpio backup is restored during "Phase Two" by selecting "Perform File System Maintenance" using the command "cpio -idmuvcVT /dev/tape" the root filesystem will become permanently designated "/dev/rootfs" (which is the temporary name for the unix.sti then in use). This can be changed temporarily with "setmnt" but reverts after making Unix. QUERY: How can root filesystem be permanently restored to /dev/dsk/0s1 without full system reload (so that, for example, "df" reports for /dev/dsk/0s1 rather than /dev/rootfs). >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Any one got the answer? Reply to uunet!eeocdt!darrell. Thank you in advance.
