Emergency Boot/Filesystem Floppy Creation Fails with 'Device Name not Found for 0-0'

Keywords

edge BackupEDGE OpenServer OSR5 root RecoverEDGE 2 boot

Release

BackupEDGE 01.01.0x for OpenServer 5/ RecoverEDGE 2

Problem

RecoverEDGE fails when attempting to generate RecoverEDGE boot diskettes while a NETWARE file system is mounted. Error generated is 'Device Name not Found for 0-0'.

Cause

RecoverEDGE does not adequately detect a NETWARE mounted filesystem.

Solution

Unmount the NETWARE file system. Although the manual states that all filesystems that are typically mounted when backups are performed are mounted (including NFS mounts) during root/boot disk creation, NETWARE file systems are an exception.
After unmounting all NETWARE filesystems, remake the RecoverEDGE diskettes.
