Experts,

we have a partner who needs to pack / unpack the
solarismisc.zlib file on Solaris 11 - the partner has
found that:

- root_archive unpack gives:
size before: 20MB
size after: 204MB
- root_archive pack gives errors and size of 27MB
- cannot mount newly packed.zlib file
- mkisofs creates mountable zlib but no compression

what are the recommended steps to unpack, then pack
and achieve proper unpacking and compression?

is this a known issue in Solaris 11?


root_archive cannot be used to properly manipulate those archives. The proper way to rebuild media is using the Distribution Constructor. There's documentation on creating custom media in the standard doc set.

We could probably be more helpful if we understood what they are trying to modify in that part of the file system.
