Mount error - trying to restore root file system

2007-12-24 19:14:00

I'm trying to restore the root filesystem after a kernel patch
messed up my system (E450 running 7).
I ended up reloading the OS as initial, since upgrade wasn't fixing
a library error message that kept recurring.

I see the procedure to restore / or /usr is as follows:

# init s
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /mnt
# cd mnt
# tapes
# ufsrestore rvf /dev/rmt/0
# ls -al
# rm restoresymtable
# cd /
# umount /mnt
# fsck /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
( Insert a blank tape ....)
# ufsdump 0uf /dev/rmt/0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0
# mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /
# ls -al /
# init 6

However, when I try to mount /mnt, I keep getting a "/mnt is busy" error.
I tried to mount with the overlap option (-O), but I still get the
"busy" error.

Any ideas.

Thanks.

Jim
