[clue-tech] Pristine root for restore

[mike havlicek]

Hello All,

I am having a bit of trouble creating a pristine root
target for a level 0 restore from tape for my root
partition. Ultimately I think the problem is perturbed
from the fact that I have my root on a logical volume.

The system is RHEL4-AS based. I am booting the system
from an install CD going into rescue mode to perform
the restore. It seems to be working for partitions
other than root (root may work as well but I can't
seem to umount it allowing me to mkfs it pristine...)
Creating a new fs on a mounted area makes me
nervous...
I guess since I am not running from it ... it will be
half way ok ... thus the good feelings from raw
devices on other systems :)

Any suggestions on doing a level 0 restore on root ???
This works SO nicely with Solaris :)

-Mike
