Re: [dubailug] Disk Image Mangler

[Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis]

Hi, The line in my /etc/fstab is as follows:     /data/suse10.img     /suse_install        iso9660    ro,loop=/dev/loop1 equivalent to the following command line:     mount -t iso9660 /data/suse10.img /suse_install -o ro,loop=/dev/loop1 NOTE BEFORE FLAMING:  I did manually remount with the 'rw' option.  The image was created by k3b (KDE CD Writing app) and a big cup of strong hot tea! Mounted as 'rw', if I go into /suse_install and try delete a file, I get:     Disaster-Area:/suse_install/suse/x86_64 # rm ZynAddSubFX-2.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm     rm: cannot remove `ZynAddSubFX-2.2.1-2.x86_64.rpm': Read-only file system     Disaster-Area:/suse_install/suse/x86_64 #     Basically I have an 8GB DVD image of the SuSE 10, and I want to remove the 3 GB of X86_64 rpms.                        thanks Sean Cgull Charlie wrote: Sean Craig - Snr Solutions Consultant - enigmatis wrote: Hi, Tried all of this. All actions fail because of 'read-only file system' even though I mounted as rw...? Ideas appreciated. Then its time to be a little more verbose. Cut and paste the mount command in full please Also please explain how you created the image, what filesystem it is etc.... By the way I never heard of an image file growing! Seeing is believing- I'll have to try. To resize I have always padded the end, used fdisk and then done the usual resizefs or equiv. You may be saving me some unnecessary work now! Of course though, it cannot shrink if you delete a file..an image is just a big block of bytes that acts like a linear disk space. It has no extra-terrestial intelligence to shrink itself on demand prior to applying some infinite *probability drive* cGull Yahoo!
