I have to iso images with solaris 9 and want to obtain access to the
slices on the cdromimage ... How can I handle this within solaris 9?

Greetings,

As the "inspiration" for this program, I though I'd better post the
original source. Details of how to do this manually are at
http://www.docbert.org/Solaris/Jumpstart/Sol9/Sol9EA-iso.html
and the thread is http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&threadm=a2bji0%24669%241%40isdserv3.macquarie.com.au

I haven't actually tried Richard's program, but it does seem a good deal
easier than doing it manually (although not half as rewarding :)

Scott.

Oh, I'd suggest that anyone curious enough to bother do it at least once
by hand, since that better reinforces an understanding of what needs to be
done.

I'm hopeful that one day lofi may be enhanced to add block offsets and
counts as optional parameters to map non-overlapping segments of a single
file. If that were to happen, a program such as mine could perhaps be
modified to just inspect the label and generate the appropriate lofiadm
commands.

btw: If you are looking specifically for a ufs filesystem
(which in this case, you are)
you can use my scanufs.c prog to find the block offset:
