Thanks for all your suggestions ... the reason was another thing. The cpio archive included in the flar was corrupt. Unpacking the archive resulted in an abortion of cpio complaining about damaged headers ... The concerning directory on the master machine was /var/opt/SUNWbb/root/tmp/SUNWut/units - which in fact is a loopback mount to /tmp/SUNWut/units: ray4 # cd /var/opt/SUNWbb/root/tmp/SUNWut/units ray4 # ls -l .: No such file or directory ray4 # cd /tmp/SUNWut/units ray4 # ls -l total 0 So, maybe my master filesystem is damaged, I will check that. But I think cpio should complain about the erroneous directory while _creating_ the flar, but: ray4:/var/opt/SUNWbb/root/tmp/SUNWut # find . | cpio -ov > /tmp/a . sessions units 16 blocks ray4:/var/opt/SUNWbb/root/tmp/SUNWut # cd /tmp ray4:/tmp # cpio -iv < a . sessions cpio: Bad magic number/header. 1 errors And here's how I found it out: If your server reports errors like "Could not extract Flash archive", split your flar using "flar split myflar.flar". Then you get a (perhaps compressed) file named "archive" which in fact is the cpio file containing all the data for cloning. Try to unpack this archive into a fresh filesystem so that you will see the cpio error messages. -- Regards Christoph ________________________________________________________________________ Christoph Litauer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Uni Koblenz, Computing Center, http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~litauer Postfach 201602, 56016 Koblenz Fon: +49 261 287-1311, Fax: -100 1311 PGP-Fingerprint: F39C E314 2650 650D 8092 9514 3A56 FBD8 79E3 27B2 _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
