Thanks for all the suggestions on how to address this. In the end, I was able to get the archive created by omitting the -S and -H options. I really have no idea why that would cause it to fail other than it being a live system with lots going on. I will test exactly which one caused it. Also noted, the -X /tmp/exclude partly worked, some files were excluded but others were not. -S Skip the disk space check and do not write archive size data to the archive. Without -S, flarcreate builds a compressed archive in memory before writing the archive to disk, to determine the size of the archive. This size information is written to the header of the archive in the files_archived_size field and is used during archive deployment on the client to ensure enough disk space is available on the client. Use -S to skip this step. The result of the use of -S is a significant decrease in the time it takes to create an archive. -H Do not generate hash identifier. appdev03 # flarcreate -n appdev03 -a "author" -X /tmp/exclude /tools/apd03flar Full Flash Checking integrity...
