all of then with the same recommendatios that worked (together, didn't
try just one of them):
- use Solaris 8 CD, and
- use ufsrestore rf /dev/rmt/0n

------------------------- ORIGINAL MESSAGE --------------------------

UE 3000 Solaris 8. c0t0d0s0 died. I'm following normal procedure for
restoring from tape. Never  tried before in Sol 8, maybe I'm doing
something wrong?
- Change disk, repartition and format it.
- Booted with Solaris 2.6 CD (for no special reason, it was the first
one I found)
- mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 in /tmp/a
- cd /tmp/a
- ufesrestore if /dev/rmt/0n
- ufesrestore> add *
- ufesrestore> add .* (because I noticed .profile,... did not appear
with an '*' in ls
- ufesrestore> extract
- ufesrestore> specify volume: .... 1
After an hour of extracting files, millions of messages are now
apperaring in console, like (approx.) these:
- cannot create hard link ./../etc/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx cross device link, or

- cannot create hard link ./../xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxx no such file or
directory

I'm waiting messages to stop to reboot. Will the restore be wrong, or
can I assume it'll be ok? What's the mistake in the procedure. Many
thanks.
