The flash create should give you a one file nice compact package, yes.

I don't see much wrong with the command that you used to create the flash but I don't normally use '-c' (compression). I just use a bit more disk space!!

However, the flash is made up of various internal components and perhaps a good test would be to see if the system can split it into component parts with the command:

Code:

# flar -s -d <target directory for components> <flash archive>

One of the components output will be the cpio of all the files in the image.

If the flar split works without error then that would indicate to me that the archive is readable.

mount_chfs

MOUNT_CHFS(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					     MOUNT_CHFS(8)

NAME

     mount_chfs -- mount a CHFS flash file system

SYNOPSIS

     mount_chfs

DESCRIPTION

     Mounts a flash file system from a flash(4) device.  CHFS file systems can be only mounted from flash devices.  For regular block devices like
     SSD drives or USB drives, please use a regular file system.  The file system will be created during the first mount.  CHFS stands for Chip
     File System.

EXAMPLES

	   mount_chfs /dev/flash0 /mnt

SEE ALSO

     flash(4), fstab(5), mount(8), flash(9)

HISTORY

     CHFS was originally called ChewieFS during development.  The name was changed to avoid legal issues and to have a more neutral name.

AUTHORS

     CHFS was developed at the Department of Software Engineering, University of Szeged, Hungary.

BUGS

     CHFS has a few known bugs as of 2011.  Writing the FS full can cause problems.  Truncating a file and growing it again can cause the new
     bytes not having all zeroes, but filled with the old content instead.
