Simulated the issue in kvm -m 256 -cdrom /media/sdd1/iso/systemrescuecd-x86-2.8.1.iso to get the same result. Steps. 1. cd /tmp 2. mkdir branch ro u 3. mkisofs -o temp.iso somefiles.... 4. mount temp.iso ro.... ....other steps .... then deleted branch.... same problem from here... I know modifying branch dir directly is not recommended, I was unable to unmount the locked .iso file which became an issue. -- Regards.
