view contents of WINSTALLFS

[Sunny_Zhang]

I understand that WINSTALLFS is the raw filesystem containing the installation/recovery scripts for Ignite-UX. Is there a way I can view contents of WINSTALLFS, and modify them? Or can I create my own raw disk? Thanks!

If you want to create your own disk, then there is ignite. You can do customization with respect to file system sizes, kernel parameters etc.

WINSTALLFS are installable cdrom medias provided by HP. I do not think you can do any changes there.

Hi,

check the manpages of the following manpages:

lif
lifinit
lifls
lifcp
lifrm

best regards

create a logical volume of a size which can contain the WINSTALLFS file
lvcreate /dev/vgxx -l 100
---> lvolZ



dd bs=512 if=WINSTALLFS of=/dev/vgxx/rlvolZ
mount /dev/vgxx/rlvolZ /mnt

if you modify it, do a dd back specifying the count=.... where count is the number of record transfered by the initial dd.
