"flar create" produces a tiny flar image of rpool
Hi,
can someone help with the following?
I got 1x146GB disk which is span by just one zfs rpool.
When issue for example:
Quote:
hostX:/var/tmp] # flar create -n hostname -c /var/tmp/hosntameX_26012011_image.flar
Full Flash
Checking integrity...
Integrity OK.
Running precreation scripts...
Precreation scripts done.
Determining the size of the archive...
The archive will be approximately 9.48KB.
Creating the archive...
as you can see in above output the flar is very small, just around 10KB
rpool with all data sets has several GB so this can't be good image. This is on the Solaris 10 update7.
Has anyone seen something similar before ?
Any hints are welcome
Cheers,
Tom
