ufsdump produces a file (/usr01/opt8.disk in your case). Why are you
mounting that file as a *disk* in the VM? It isn't a disk.

You might get lucky if you mounted it like you have and then ran
ufsrestore on the *raw* device, ie ufsrestore -xfv /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3.
But I'm somewhat doubtful that would work.

If it were to work at all, he'd need to use the whole-disk slice, s2. I
don't know why he's using s3.

I import it to my qemu as its third virtual slice with the '-hdc
opt8.disk' option (as its format command shows slice three on /
c0t2d0) . I tried as :
#cd /opt
#ufsrestore -xvf /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3
#ufsrestore -xvf /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s2
But both of them returned as 'volume is not in dump format' .

Because you are not using your dumped file. Take the file and COPY it
somewhere on
your machine you can access.

cd /opt
ufsrestore -rvf /opt8.disk (or where ever you have it stored.)

Before doing that, CHECK THE MAN PAGE, I don't have a machine
powered on to check this at the moment.

Excuse me, I cannot transfer the 'opt8.disk' to my qemu as a file .
What I have here is to import it as its third virtual slice with the '-
hdc opt8.disk' option . Then the format output shows slice three on /
c0t2d0 that I need to restore on my qemu /opt .
