Another BDF problem

[Aggy]

I have got to identical servers but on my dir /u2 the bdf o/p is different.
The size of the drive,files is all identical but I am not sure why I still get to different BDF o/p
I have rebooted the Server but still no luck
Details below of Server1 and Server2
SERVER 1 O/P

:/> mkfs -m /dev/vg01/lvu01
mkfs -F vxfs -o ninode=unlimited,bsize=1024,version=6,inosize=256,logsize=16384,
largefiles / dev/vg01/lvu01 10485760

Same on both the servers

Aggy,

The Oracle datafiles on Server 1 are "sparse". This means that while space was allocated at file creation time, the files are padded out with zeros. These 0 bytes are accounted for by 'ls -l', but not by 'df'.

Is there a way by which we can have identical space between the two servers.

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

If you want identical space, you will have to recopy the sparse files from the unexpanded source.

'fbackup' and 'frecover' can accomodate this. Use the '-s' switch with 'frecover'. See the manpages for more information.

Regards!

Aggy,

Use 'dd' or GNU cpio or some other program that supports sparse files to copy the contents of /u2 from Server 1 to Server 2.
