I used the following command to create the flash. I created flash image million times. Should I use a different method instead of `cpio' which is what flarcreate calls to create image? Is there some patch may be for cpio on solaris 8 02/04 that needs to be applied before creating the image? cd / flarcreate -S -n engr -c -x /opt/flash /opt/flash/engr.flar I also tried like this (also one w/o compression) flarcreate -R / -n engr -c -x /opt/flash /opt/flash/engr.flar -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
