Customizing a New Boot Environment's Content
When you create a new boot environment, some directories and files can
be excluded from a copy to the new boot environment. If you have
excluded a directory, you can also reinstate specified subdirectories or files under the
excluded directory. These subdirectories or files that have been restored are then copied to
the new boot environment. For example, you could exclude from the copy all
files and directories in /etc/mail, but include all files and directories in /etc/mail/staff.
The following command copies the staff subdirectory to the new boot environment.
# lucreate -n second_disk -x /etc/mail -y /etc/mail/staff
Caution - Use the file-exclusion options with caution. Do not remove files or directories that
are required by the system.
The following table lists the lucreate command options for removing and restoring directories
and files.
