Tru64 Unix (HP) - copy file from 2nd HD to Boot HD

Applications Filesystems, Disks and Memory

Hi,

Here is some of the setup information on system:
Tru64 UNIX OS and Two Hard Drives installed. One drive is boot drive and other is spare (Spare drive currently has some back up information on it). here is just a couple of the device/partition/mount points on boot drive.

/dev/rz0a on / type ufs(rw)
/dev/rz0g on /testarea type ufs(rw)

2nd drive has same format.

Can you mount either slice (i.e. /dev/rz1a or /dev/rz1g) from the 2nd hard drive (non boot up drive) onto your boot drive to grab a file ? Not sure if can be done with rz1a on 2nd HD since it has / (Root Dirctory) mount point.

Thnks,

Bobw

Humm, surely the second drive should be /dev/rz1a, etc.

Yes, I have edited original question.

Yes, you can mount slices from the second disk onto the first disk.

I tried to mount the two slices and could not do one. Here are the commands.

>mount /dev/rz1g /mnt/mydisk1
This mounts okay on my boot disk rz0.

>mount /dev/rz1a /mnt/mydisk1
I get message that rz1a is �dirty file system�. I don�t know if this is because I am not allowed to give 2 mount points of / to system. Do you know why I might be getting this message ?

Thanks
