Hi Everybody

The problem cleared out. I now know what, but not why :) For those of you
interested.
I have a 2nd disk in the machine (ad3) which has a backup parition (ad3f).
This partition
is mounted to a mountpoint (guess: in root) to /mnt/vol1.

For strange reasons (who knows why?) mount fails (see below), therefor the
volume gets
not mounted and the backup sits in the mountpoint directory, filling up...
/.

Btw: I moved all /modules /sbin /bin to their right places back.

Now the mount fails as showed here. The backup partition is not mountalbe,
but another,
on the same disk, is...

        caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /mnt/vol1
        mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted
        caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /backup/slice1
        mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted
        caramba#

here another partition:

        caramba# mount
        /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local)
        /dev/ad0s1e on /usr (ufs, local)
        /dev/ad0s1g on /usr/www (ufs, local)
        /dev/ad0s1f on /var (ufs, local)
        procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
        /dev/ad3e on /mnt/vol1 (ufs, local)

        caramba# umount /mnt/vol1/
        caramba#

the disklabel entry:

caramba# disklabel ad3
# /dev/ad3c:

31206*)
caramba#


--> no, i can stop backups for the moment, or repoint them to another
partition, e.g.
ad3g, but why does mount not work on that respectively give "operation not
permitted"?

Thanks
Arie
