I'm not sure why you posted this to nfs-discuss at opensolaris.org as this isn't about (a) NFS and (b) OpenSolaris :-) > Excerpt from script: > # Run flar > system("flarcreate -n Archive -c -f $mnt/cdrom/filelist.txt -F > $mnt/cdrom/default.flar"); > > Full Flash > Checking integrity... > ERROR: File / registered in package database - can not be excluded. > ERROR: Integrity check failed. > Any idea what the problem is?

Hint ... the -F flag means only the -f filelist is included - if that excludes critical files than flarcreate doesn't like it. Flash archives are all about creating bootable images. -- Peter
