Usbcopy fails with the error message sol-11_1-live-x86.usb is not a multiple of 512
I am trying to create a live image of solaris 11.1. I have used Code:
#pkg image-update to upgrade from 11 to 11.1 already. (since only 11.1 can make images of 11.1 due to using new grub) then from within 11.1 I used Code:
pkg install install distribution-constructor to get latest usbcopy that should be compatible with the new GRUB then I tried: Code:
taltamir@new-host:/tank/share/My Downloads (Software)/Operating Systems/Solaris# usbcopy sol-11_1-live-x86.usb Found the following USB devices: 0: /dev/rdsk/c9t0d0p0 1.9 GB CBM USB 2.0 8.07 Enter the number of your choice: 0 WARNING: All data on your USB storage will be lost. Are you sure you want to install to CBM USB 2.0 8.07, 1900 MB at /dev/rdsk/c9t0d0p0 ? (y/n) y lofiadm: size of /tank/share/My Downloads (Software)/Operating Systems/Solaris/sol-11_1-live-x86.usb is not a multiple of 512 Error: : Failed to lofiadm sol-11_1-live-x86.usb What is the problem?

The problem is that the image you are writing out (to USB) has to be a multiple of 512 for lofiadm to be happy. (If it's not a multiple of 512 then it's not a valid image.) So you either need to find out why the created image isn't a multiple of 512 or pad it out using a fudge and see if it works. Typical fudge would be Code:
dd if=old.iso of=new.iso obs=512 conv=sync to fix the size issue. |
