Looks like you found a bug. I am not sure why we did not see this. On my system running snv126 I see
gzcat /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive gzcat: /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive: not in gzip format $ pfexec lofiadm -a /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive /dev/lofi/1 $file /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive /platform/i86pc/amd64/boot_archive: ISO 9660 filesystem image $ pfexec fstyp /dev/lofi/1 hsfs Can you check if this is the same for you. If so, the boot_archive is no longer a compressed ufs file system. Its an hsfs file system. The command that generated the boot_archive can generate either an hsfs file system or a compressed ufs file system. The transfer module needs to be made smarter. -Sanjay Masafumi Ohta wrote: > Hi Sanjay-san > > On 2009/11/15, at 10:30, sanjay nadkarni wrote: > >> Hi Masafumi-san, >> Where is the webrev ?
