Other archiving options are: cpio (regular, bzip2-ed, or gzip-ed) pax XUSTAR ufsdump (level 0) You can also use the directory (-d) approach. Use any archiver/unarchiver, and pass the directory containing the extracted archive to zoneadm install -d. -Steve L. On Fri, Aug

[ changing the cc to zones-discuss which is a more appropriate alias for this kind of question. ] hey asif, i'm guessing that cpio is not your problem. the key error below is: uncompress: stdin: corrupt input perhaps the s8_install script is somehow not detecting the compression type
