See the fwupgrade(8), bootptab(4), and bootpd(8) reference pages for more information.
3.2.2.18 Changes to tar, pax, and cpio Behavior
When extracting or listing an archive using the tar, pax, or cpio commands, specifying a slash
(/) at the end of argument will cause the command to act upon the directory and not the contents
in the directory. For example:
# tar xvf filename.tar dir1/
When creating an archive with these commands, specifying multiple slashes will result in the
placement of one slash for any directory entry in the archive header. Previously, specifying
multiple slashes would put these slashes in the archive header. For example:
# tar cvf filename.tar dir1//////////
Specifying a single slash when creating the archive will cause tar, pax, or cpio to pick up all
of the directory's contents. For example:
# tar cvf filename.tar dir1/
3.2.2.19 Changes to vdump and vrestore Disallow Larger Record Sizes
The vdump and vrestore programs have been tuned to disallow block sizes greater than 64
KB blocks. This is to avoid forward compatibility problems. With the installation of this kit, the
valid range is 2 through 64 KB blocks.
