Rubinstein Hi No?, While you're working on this, there is something else that you may be interested in doing. Currently, the iso image that is generated is not really the root filesystem, but it contains a cpio image with the real root filesystem. But in fact, there is no good reason to work that way, and it really complicates the build. Instead, it would be a lot more logical to create a real iso9660 root filesystem using the RockRidge extensions. That would also allow the iso9660 fs to finally use the ROOTFS_TARGET infrastructure, removing a lot of cruft. If you're willing to work on this, you can add it as an additional patch to your series. It's very likely that it will need a couple of review cycles, so be prepared for that :-) Regards, Arnout [snip] -- Arnout Vandecappelle arnout at mind be Senior Embedded Software Architect +32-16-286500 Essensium/Mind http://www.mind.be G.Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium BE 872 984 063 RPR Leuven LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/arnoutvandecappelle GPG fingerprint: 7CB5 E4CC 6C2E EFD4 6E3D A754 F963 ECAB 2450 2F1F
