Might it be simplest to restore the contents? For example if you took
the backup with ufsdump, then use ufsrestore.

First, redo newfs without the -m option. -m 0 gives you 0% free space...

Then, to preserve is too late, you have to restore the data from your backup.

# cd /mnt
# ufsrestore xvf /dev/rmt/0hn

Is this for real, or a troll?

I'm afraid it's for real...

You say you have data in /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3 that you want to copy into your
new /opt filesystem. But then:

This means that /dev/dsk/c0t2d0s3 is not a valid filesystem. So it isn't
possible that you have data on it. Obviously something you're telling us
is wrong.
