I've read the sources of suse image writer, it just copies the content of the ISO to the device. So I would guess the same can be done backwards? I'm just not sure how ISO will behave if the image file length is bigger than actual contents. So, what I would try: 1. Determine the actual size of the ISO image: lynx -dump -head 'http://mirror.karneval.cz/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/leap/42.1/iso/open...' | grep 'Content-Length' Content-Length: 4648337408 2. This can be divided evenly by 8192 (8kb buffers), resulting in 567424. 3. So I would try following dd command to transform it back into iso: sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=leap.iso bs=8192 count=567424. 4. Now checking the md5sums: md5sum Downloads/openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso leap.iso 2bc74929bfa9772a5637f76ddde8784b Downloads/openSUSE-Leap-42.1-DVD-x86_64.iso 2bc74929bfa9772a5637f76ddde8784b leap.iso And we have a winner! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
