I haven't had this issue unless someone marked a new root volume that didn't have the /etc directory copied...with your syntax above you did copy it.. with ndmpcopy also clean up (delete) the restore_symboltable file after the cutover to the new root volume.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 24 Jun 2013 16:26:28 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/move-root-volt/m-p/56702#M13368 scottgelb 2013-06-24T16:26:28Z
