    Hi list,

     I was reading ufsdump man pages and according to it a file system is considered inactive only if it is in single user mode or unmounted and also it says restoring may be difficult if it is inconsistent. I am performing UFSDUMP on a remote tape which uses RSH protocol and the server needs to be in mutli user mode. Anyone has any issues when restoring file system when backed up in multi user mode?. Please let me know.

    UFSDUMP man pages ......

    ufsdump backs up all files specified by files_to_dump (nor-

    mally either a whole file system or files within a file sys-

    tem changed after a certain date) to magnetic tape,

    diskette, or disk file. When running ufsdump , the file

    system must be inactive; otherwise, the output of ufsdump

    may be inconsistent and restoring files correctly may be

    impossible. A file system is inactive when it is unmounted

    or the system is in single user mode. A file system is not

    considered inactive if one tree of the file system is quies-

    cent while another tree has files or directories being modi-

    fied.
