mkdir cd mkdir -m 1777 cd/tmp mkdir -m 1777 cd/tmp2 cp /bin/bash cd/tmp2 genisoimage -R -m 'cd/tmp2/*' -o cd.iso cd results in these permissions in the mounted cd.iso image: 2 drwxr-xr-x 4 knopper users 2048 Feb 8 14:40 /mnt 2 drwxrwxrwt 2 knopper users 2048 Feb 8 14:40 /mnt/tmp 2 dr-xr-xr-x 2 knopper users 2048 Feb 8 14:41 /mnt/tmp2 Apparently, instead of just excluding files inside tmp2 by -m 'cd/tmp2/*' , the permissions of tmp2 have been reset to 555, which is neither documented, nor expected. This can lead to problems when using genisoimage for backups, since the original permissions of directories with excluded content are not correctly transferred into the iso image. -K.Knopper -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.37 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages genisoimage depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.5-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.11.2-2 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libmagic1 5.04-5 File type determination library us ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime genisoimage recommends no packages.
