Following this recipe to migrate my non-global S10 zones to S11X:

cpio(1) fails due = 8GB filesize limit. (See largefile(5).)
Using pax results in a zone with foobar'd permissions.
S10# pax -w -@ -p e -x xustar -f /zones/my-zone.pax my-zone
S11# zoneadm -z my-zone attach -a /zones/my-zone.pax
However,
If I extract my-zone.pax and attach with -d, the zone's permissions
appears kosher.
S11# pax -r -@ -p e -f /zones/my-zone.pax
S11# zoneadm -z my-zone attach -d /zones/my-zone
A quick look suggests that the differences between your 'pax -r' args and
what attach uses is '-@ -p e'. See install_pax() in
/usr/lib/brand/shared/common.ksh. If you update this line:
( cd $ARCHIVE_BASE pax -r -f $archive $filtopt )
to:
( cd $ARCHIVE_BASE pax -r -@ -p e -f $archive $filtopt )
give 'zoneadm -z myzone attach -a' another whirl, and report back, I
would be most appreciative.
I'm guessing zoneadm(1M)'s call to pax(1) with -a pax_archive is broken
and zoneadm(1M)'s underlying use of cpio(1) with -d zone/root has the
filesize limit.
Sounds like reasonable guesses, but I wouldn't expect cpio would have
an issue with stream size in pass mode. Do you have any file (including
sparse files) with a size 4 GB?
