Solved it :) I have been trying for over an hour now so it is possible that I forgot something I changed earlier tonight, but I think this is the only thing I needed to get it working: cd /etc ln fstab mtab Now backup/restore works fine, and I can even browse my FreeBSD! The results of the browsing are unfortunately the contents of /usr/compat/linux, not the FreeBSD contents. But everything directly below / that doesn't have an equally named directory in /usr/compat/linux, for example /export, is browseable with real FreeBSD content! Here are my diffs for .util. I use .util from the A.04.00 release. It would probably be nicer to keep the use of uname for getting ARCH and OS_REV and instead changing the awk arguments, but this works: $ diff .util .util.old 16c16 < ARCH=FreeBSD --- > ARCH=`echo ${UNAME} | awk '{print $1}'` 47,52d46 < FreeBSD) < MACHINE=FreeBSD < OS_REV=4.3-RELEASE < SERIES=gpl/i386/freebsd < STRING="gpl i386 freebsd-${OS_REV}" < ;; 282,284d275 < ;; < gpl/i386/freebsd) < /bin/df -t ufs 2>/dev/null | awk '$6 ~ /\/.*/ {print $6}' Peter Olsson On Wed, 19 Sep 2001, Thyer, Matthew wrote: > [cc'd to the lists for future reference for people wishing to run > Hewlett Packard OpenView OmniBack disk agent on FreeBSD] > > You are trying to do a lot more than me. > > I cannot browse, I have simply defined my datalist manually specifying > that I only want to backup the /export filesystem (dont choose from > the browse list but just type it in). > > I will be interested to see what mods you have made to > /usr/omni/bin/.util to be able to see the list of mounted filesystems. > > I dont do any browsing except when I am restoring, then I browse the > OmniBack database to choose what to restore but as far as I know, you > cannot browse the list of mounted filesystems or the files in them > when you are actually communicating with the FreeBSD box. > > I may well have run "brandelf -t Linux /usr/omni/bin/*" to make vbda > work. > > Compare the below with your system: > > % sudo file /usr/omni/bin/* > /usr/omni/bin/#inet: setuid setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/cat_d: setuid setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/cat_e: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/echo_d: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/echo_e: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/fsbrda: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/inet: setuid setgid ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/install: directory > /usr/omni/bin/obkbackup: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/obkrestore: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped > /usr/omni/bin/omnigetmsg: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/rbda: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/rrda: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/srun: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/utilns: directory > /usr/omni/bin/vbda: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > /usr/omni/bin/vrda: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, stripped > > > Also ignore anything that gets redirected under /compat/linux as you'll > end up backing up the wrong stuff. > > % ls -l /usr/compat/linux/ > total 10 > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Jul 26 15:15 bin > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Feb 7 1996 boot > drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 1024 Aug 24 10:45 etc > drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 2048 Jul 26 15:15 lib > drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jul 26 15:14 mnt > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Aug 24 1999 opt > dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Sep 19 14:40 proc > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Jul 26 15:14 sbin > drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 512 Jul 26 15:15 usr > drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 512 Jul 26 15:15 var > > So you wont get all of /bin, /boot, /etc, /lib, /mnt, /opt, /sbin, > /usr or /var backed up in the normal way with OmniBack. > > The solution to that problem is to set up your FreeBSD boxes as > file servers where all data is under /export.
