This reminds me that I don't think I ever reported...

5.99.something (nearly a year ago), wapbl, ffs on single-CPU sparc64.

Got a panic doing rsync from the snapshot. No problems without ffs, so
I reverted to the orinal script. It's a production server, so no time
for experiments.

What I exactly did:

doone () {
        echo Working on $3...
        fssconfig -x fss0 $3 $3/.fssbackup || exit 1
        mount /dev/fss0 /mnt1 || exit 1
        fsck -p /dev/$1 || exit 1
        mount /dev/$2 /mnt2 || exit 2
        rsync -ax /mnt1/. /mnt2/. 
        umount /mnt2    
        umount /mnt1
        fssconfig -u fss0
}
doone rsd0a     sd0a            /.
doone rsd0d     sd0d            /var
doone rsd0g     sd0g            /usr
