If I understand this correctly, when the UDFS is umounted, you can save
the UDFS in its physical location, and get the attributes of the UDFS
itself, as well as ALL the objects within it. IOW, you could restore it
and recreate the UDFS, as well as all objects within it, whereas if you
saved the mounted filesystem, you would have the objects in the UDFS,
but not the UDFS itself, and if you wished, you could restore some of
the files by specifying a path selector in the RST command. Is that
reasonably accurate?
