I got a problem using mkisofs version 1.21.1
I have a data dir to be burnt, it shows like
/mnt/f/Planets /688/....... /WAV /various/.........
Now I run mkisofs like this
mkisofs -r -J -l -o /mnt/g/image.iso /mnt/f/*
I think the correct syntax is mkisofs -r -J -l -o /mnt/g/image.iso /mnt/f You need to specify the directory, not a file. When you put * at the end, mkisofs processed *ALL* directories under /mnt/f
BUT (now the problem which I do not understand)
After burning that image using cdrecord I verify this to be DIFFERENT from what I want.
mkisofs has moved ALL sub directories under various/ to the root directory of the cd, so I can find all its files in ONE directory. The same happened to all the sub dirs under 688/
See above -- this is expected behavior.
What have I done wrong here? Is that a bug?
No, it's not a bug.
ADD: It seems (to describe it) that mkisofs moves all subdirectories ONE dir path UPWARDS. Any ideas what I have overseen probably?
The parameter to mkisofs needs to be a directory. HTH, -Kastus
