what is that 1 in the instruction!~ (please help fast)

Hi all,

make_lofs /.cdrom/<something>/<something> 1

what does this instruction mean?
Note:both the "something" are obviously different .

I would like to know what that 1 means, the rest of the instruction is clear!!

Thanks

AFAIK, this command isn't part of Solaris.

That would have help if you had given that information in the first place, especially when asking for a fast reply.

Same to what ? There is no such command in Solaris.

There is currently no evidence that a command named make_lofi exist according to google, which is quite good detecting them.
Please provide more material to your question.

Perhaps you are referring to mkisofs and lofiadm?
These commands are part of Solaris and are used to create and/or manipulate bootable ISOs.

Again, why are you failing to provide this kind of information in the first place ?

This is still quite vague.
If you are trying to use the Belenix remastering toolkit, then according to the Belenix site, there is some work to be done for it to be functional again:
