Sorry, I got one of those annoying Netscape POSTDATA errors, and it wouldn't let me back to the bug using the Back menu.When I went back, it made a new bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 101997 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Description of problem: Tried to mount all Redhat ISOs at the same time to mkisofs a DVD. I wish max_loop was higher (maybe 16?). I guess you can only do 8. I don't understand why the value has to be so low. This is the script I made. It worked until I decided to also add the other two doc isos besides the US docs: mkdir dvd-iso cd dvd-iso mkdir shrike-SRPMS-disc{1,2,3} shrike-i386-disc{1,2,3} shrike-docs-US shrike-docs-EMEA shrike-docs-APAC #Mount the ISO images using a loop device mount: mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-SRPMS-disc1.iso shrike-SRPMS-disc1 mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-SRPMS-disc2.iso shrike-SRPMS-disc2 mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-SRPMS-disc3.iso shrike-SRPMS-disc3 mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-i386-disc1.iso shrike-i386-disc1 mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-i386-disc2.iso shrike-i386-disc2 mount -o ro,loop ../i386/shrike-i386-disc3.iso shrike-i386-disc3 mount -o ro,loop ../doc/shrike-docs-US.iso shrike-docs-US mount -o ro,loop ../doc/shrike-docs-EMEA.iso shrike-docs-EMEA mount -o ro,loop ../doc/shrike-docs-APAC.iso shrike-docs-APAC #Copy the isolinux directory and the .discinfo from disc1 to the #current directory: cp -a shrike-i386-disc1/isolinux shrike-i386-disc1/.discinfo . #Edit the .discinfo head --lines=3 .discinfo > discinfo.tmp echo 1,2,3,4,5 >> discinfo.tmp tail --lines=3 .discinfo >> discinfo.tmp rm .discinfo mv discinfo.tmp .discinfo # Create the ISO image mkisofs -o shrike-i386-dvd.iso \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \ -R -m TRANS.TBL \ -x shrike-i386-disc1/.discinfo -x shrike-i386-disc1/isolinux \ -graft-points shrike-i386-disc1 .discinfo=.discinfo isolinux/=isolinux \ RedHat/=shrike-i386-disc2/RedHat RedHat/=shrike-i386-disc3/RedHat \ SRPMS/=shrike-SRPMS-disc1/SRPMS SRPMS/=shrike-SRPMS-disc3/SRPMS \ SRPMS/=shrike-SRPMS-disc2/SRPMS docs/US=shrike-docs-US \ docs/APAC/=shrike-docs-APAC docs/EMEA/=shrike-docs-EMEA # Show the MD5SUM ls -l shrike-i386-dvd.iso echo shrike-i386-dvd.iso installed into dvd-iso echo Now run ./mkmediacheck.sh if you want to do a media check cd ..
