Creating a copy of a CD Image
Hi all, I know that the answer to this is easy, but I can't seem to figure it out... I have a data CD, and I want to make an iso image of it so that I can upload the iso image to another storage location (fileserver, for example). I looked mkisofs, and I think I could use this tool, but is there another, more direct way to get the CD image? Thanks, -ronc

Ah! Of course. I knew it was something simple. Thanks, Anders! -ronc
can this image be mounted as a loopback file system like images created with mkisofs? You said:

err, sorry, newbie question: what is loopback file system,
where can I find info about this?

Well, I cannot tell. search google??? it works like mount -o loop -t fs-type imagename mountpoint it enables you modify file system images. I.e. if you want to modify your initial bootdisk image in a nonstandard way, you would unpack it (it's compressed), mount it via loopback modify it, unmount, compress and rerun lilo. if you generate cd images from the shell (mkisofs) and want different dirs on your machine to be other different dirs on the CD -the call of mkisofs gets a bit complicated-. So it's nice to mount and check fs-structure before burning.

Even better, use 'readcd', which detects read errors and retries. On my system, I use it via: readcd dev=0,6,0 f=disk_image.raw The 0,6,0 specifies the SCSI bus and device for my CD-R. Chris Shaker On Friday 01 March 2002 09:55, Anders Johansson wrote:

I have a followup question on that. If I have an image file created in this manner, what is the best way to put that onto a CD-R?

cdrecord speed=40x dev=0,6,0 image.iso Of course, if you have a slower burner change the speed setting to what it can do :) Also change the device numbers. You can get the correct ones from cdrecord -scanbus Your favourite GUI burner program should also have an option to burn isos. //Anders

Will this work with audio? (the dd'ing, that is...) Jon

Hm, interesting. I'd never tried, since I always use cdparanoia to rip music. When I try I just get io errors ({DriveReady SeekComplete}. So the answer *looks like* it's no, but I can't for the life of me think why //Anders

Yeah, I even went and tried it myself... don't work (errors like above)... no big deal, though it *would've* been kind of neat... If someone can explain *why* it fails, I'd love to hear about it... The way I understand 'dd' it doesn't care *what* it's handling it just reads/ writes blocks/bytes from here to there... Wow... that's almost lyrical: "Don't you see? d - d, just reads 'n writes blocks or bytes from here to there without a care" ... ;P ANYWAYs I just tried dd'ing a cd to an image file... It's F*cking FAST! (?) 500+ MB in ...dunno 10 secs... What's the word on r/w errors? is this at all a reliable MO? Jon

I think dd will tell you if there are any i/o errors. I've never had any problems with it. I've ripped many cd images with it, and it has yet to fail, except on some of those commercial cds with read-error-by-design, but dd reports the error when it gets there, so I trust it. //Anders

I was hoping to bypass them in silence :) I've heard "Win95 sucks" by Adam Sandler (I think) and the Free Software Song by Stallman (*shudder*). We *really* don't need any more software songs :) But hey, complete the lyrics and maybe SuSE can get Madonna to sing them at the 8.0 launch! :) //Anders

nuff said !-) - heard some of it in a program about Linux, on swedish tv last night... <brrr>... Nice program though...

Maybe not... and Madonna? She's with the Dark Side. Letting herself be used to promote Evilware... let 'em keep her. SuSE should try and get Motorhead instead... imnsho... Jon
