Hi,
the new development snapshot of GNU xorriso is uploaded.
http://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/xorriso-1.0.1.tar.gz
Version timestamp 2011.01.26.133107, MD5 d90b1502f3d4c116931024497a260f83
For a test i created a new ISO image from the content of
debian-squeeze-di-rc2-i386-businesscard.iso by:
mount -o loop debian-squeeze-di-rc2-i386-businesscard.iso /mnt
dd if=debian-squeeze-di-rc2-i386-businesscard.iso \
bs=1K count=32 of=debian.sysarea
xorriso -as mkisofs -o debian-businesscard-xorriso.iso \
-allow-leading-dots -J -R \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-isohybrid-mbr debian.sysarea -partition_offset 16 \
/mnt
Tests passed:
- It can be mounted by Linux. A diff -r with the mounted original
yields the plausible result:
diff: /mnt/debian: recursive directory loop
Files /mnt/isolinux/boot.cat and /mnt2/isolinux/boot.cat differ
Files /mnt/isolinux/isolinux.bin and /mnt2/isolinux/isolinux.bin differ
(The differing files contain the block address of isolinux.bin which
is not the same in both images.)
- It unpacks with libarchive 2.8.4 (without the patch by Michihiro
Nakajima) to the same file tree as does an image created by
genisoimage.
- It boots from CD on a amd64 to an install menu with a little
rocket.
- It boots from USB stick to the same menu.
So to my best knowledge it should be safe for production.
I use it for my own backups now.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
