The default copy method that is used when you create a Solaris Flash archive is the pax utility. The flarcreate command uses the pax utility to create an archive without size limitations on individual files. Individual file sizes can be greater than 4 Gbytes. The flarcreate command with the -L cpio option creates a cpio archive. This option is useful for backward compatibility.
For information about installing an archive, see the following table.
