uzip

[locke1]

I have been checking out the RC1 of 9.1 and I am really impressed. I have a question about usr.uzip in /uzip. I would like to understand how to read and edit this file from my hard drive. Do I have to mount it and edit the files once mounted?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

The .uzip file is a ufs formatted file, compressed with mkuzip. To mount
it you would need to use a command like this:

# mdconfig -a -t vnode -o readonly -f usr.uzip
# mount /dev/<mddevice> /mnt

I see, and is the initial ufs formatted file an image created with dd? Or do you have to create a file system and then mount and copy?
