Flash Archive

Solaris provides flash archive for some time.
I never got a flash archive applied to OS successfully before.

I think it is important to get a copy of the archive for hsiao.net in case something happened and I will still have the image to rebuild.

The steps look straightforward to me. I just need a machine to apply the flash archive to see how it really works.

Creating flash archive

Code: Select all

flar create -n <name> -X <exclude file> <name>.flar
Check the structure of the flash archive

Code: Select all

flar info -l <name>.flar
