This is not so easy. We used to do this and after an upgrade, it crashed every time we ran rsync to copy from root volume /etc to other volume /etc for a backup root volume. There are certain files in /etc that cannot be completely overwritten, even if it is on a non-root volume. Haven't heard if this is changed. Don't remember bug number.

I wonder whether such copying is entirely safe. In some releases of ONTAP certain actions cause /etc on a non-root volume to be created and files put there, the overwriting of which by the proposed copying might have evil consequences.
Thanks for the tip.
I just use rsync to "sync" between /vol/vol0/etc/ and /vol/vol1/safe_etc/
Has anyone made Boot floppies(ontap) on Solaris/Linux.
I dont know how to fit more than 1.45 Mb on a 3.5" floppy.
Ontap uses 4 disks to boot.
3 are of size 1.47M and one of size 0.76M.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Ram.
