| + | ==Another Method== |
| + | Here's how to do it. |
| + | |
| + | Partition you destination disk in such a way, that you are happy with it. |
| + | |
| + | do mkfs on the partion(s). |
| + | |
| + | mount it (them) on /.Z |
| + | |
| + | For IRIX versions below 6.2 do: |
| + | <pre> |
| + | umount /dev/fd /proc |
| + | mkfs /dev/rdsk/dks0d2s0 |
| + | with 2 partitions do also: mkfs /dev/rdsk/dks0d2s6 |
| + | mount /dev/dsk/dks0d2s0 /.Z |
| + | with 2 partitions do also: (mkdir /.Z/usr;mount /dev/dsk/dks0d2s6 /.Z/usr) |
| + | (cd /;tar cf - .[a-zA-Y0-9]* *|(cd /.Z;tar xf -) |
| + | cd /stand |
| + | dvhtool -v c sash sash /dev/rdsk/dks0d2vh |
| + | mntproc |
| + | </pre> |
| + | Shutdown the system, and you destination disk is ready. |
| + | |
| + | For IRIX 6.2 and higher (or an xFS filesystem) do: |
| + | <pre> |
| + | umount /dev/fd /proc |
| + | xfs_growfs / |
| + | xfs_growfs /usr |
| + | to determine the current blocksize (shown as fx. bsize=512 on second line) |
| + | mkfs -b size=<found size> /dev/rdsk/dks0d2s0 |
| + | with 2 partitions do also: mkfs -b size= /dev/rdsk/dks0d2s6 |
| + | mount /dev/dsk/dks0d2s0 /.Z |
| + | with 2 partitions do also: (mkdir /.Z/usr;mount /dev/dsk/dks0d2s6 /.Z/usr) |
| + | (cd /;tar cf - .[a-zA-Y0-9]* *|(cd /.Z;tar xf -) |
| + | cd /stand |
| + | dvhtool -v g sash sash |
| + | dvhtool -v c sash sash /dev/rdsk/dks0d2vh |
| + | mntproc |
