SUMMARY: Flash Image question

2007-12-24 21:57:00

I got some responses to my question but the main issue was with the "how" to
create the 'layered archives'....did more research and found that a bug has been
reported to Sun (4489088) about flarcreate. We weren't having problems creating
archives but we were with 'layered archives' and trying to create them from the
top most directory. And since there was no documentation on how to do this, we
just stumbled through and kept thinking that we were still off base with the
flags/options. Anyway, there is no patch for this and I don't know if a fix will
be part of the next release of Solaris 8 (couldn't get a straight answer from
Sun).

Thanks to all who did take the time to respond.

Original question:

Can anyone tell me "how" to create "layered archives with the flash images"? So
far the documentation that we have found just talks about the ability to do this
but no step by step procedure is listed. If there is a doc/web site/manual,
please let me know.
