*** Please type your report below this line *** I have this cloop - file. When I try to mount it, the kernel complains something about "out of memory". To see whether the kernel module has a problem or my file, I have tried to uncompress that cloop file manually. Here is what I did and what came out of it: $ extract_compressed_fs KNOPPIX 0 blocks of size 65536. Preamble: #!/bin/sh #V2.0 Format modprobe cloop file=$0 && mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cloop $1 exit $? and that is all the output I get. Just a few lines of plain text, not the many megabyte of binary data expected. To compare, I tried the same uncompress on a cloop file from KNOPPIX_V5.0.1CD-2006-06-01-DE as available via Knopper.net - this time inserting protection from binary data and "head"ing the output: X$ extract_compressed_fs KNOPPIX | od -c | head -10 31120 blocks of size 65536. Preamble: #!/bin/sh #V2.0 Format modprobe cloop file=$0 && mount -r -t iso9660 /dev/cloop $1 exit $? Block 0 length 12773 => 65536 Block 1 length 29872 => 65536 0000000 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 * 0100000 001 C D 0 0 1 001 \0 L I N U X 0100020 0100040 K N O P P I X _ 0100060 F S 0100100 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 0100120 370 1 017 \0 \0 017 1 370 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 0100140 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 0100160 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 \0 001 \0 \0 001 001 \0 \0 001 So I conclude my problem isn't in the cloop kernel module, but in the cloop file itself. Finally, how did I construct that defect compressed file? I used mkisofs to construct an ISO-9960 image. This image is a 1.7 G file: $ ls -l knoppix-raw.iso - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1713979392 2006-08-12 14:31 knoppix-raw.iso - From that, I used the command: create_compressed_fs -v -L -1 -B 65536 -f tmpfile \ knoppix-raw.iso master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX That gave me a file of the expected size: $ ls -l master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX - -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 677200178 2006-08-12 15:53 master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX In passing, I noticed thet /fotos/tmpfile was created, but not really used. Both during the run (a two hour affair) and afterwards, its' length remained 0 byte. I remember that create_compressed_fs used a little more than 100 MB RAM.
