Subject: Heads Up: Putback of 6192995 may require a new flarcreate
The putback of:
6192995 flarcreate and flash archive not working properly on 32/64 bit
adds a script that is run in conjunction with flarcreate to unmount any
mounted x86 hardware-specific libraries before creating the flash archive.
This script also generates a script that remounts those libraries when the
archive creation has completed, but the changes to flarcreate needed to
execute that script were putback as part of 6267370.
Since flarcreate is not updated as part of a standard BFU, you may need to
manually update the version of flarcreate installed on your system if you
intend to create flash archives on your system. This is most easily done
by grabbing the latest SUNWinst package from:
/ws/install-nv-gate/packages/i386/nightly/SUNWinst
If you do not update your version of flarcreate, your hardware-specific
libraries will be unmounted when you create a flash archive and will remain
unmounted until your next reboot, unless you remount them by hand. Leaving
the hardware-specific libraries unmounted will cause no adverse behavior,
save a small decrease in system performance.
