Ignite image extract

[MikeL_4]

Is there a way to extract files from an Ignite image created from a make_net_recovery ?

Mike,

Sure - you need to skip past the boot headers with "mt -t /dev/rmt/0mn fsf 1", then use pax or tar to extract what you want.

it's not tape, it's a disk image from make_net_recovery....

Oops - sorry!

Absolutely:

# gzcat ignite_image_name | tar -xvf - dir/filename

Make absolutely sure you put spaces in the appropriate spots:

# gzcat ignite_image_name | tar -xvf-dir/filename
