Re: CD writing in ext2 filesystem

[Paul Furness <paul.furness@vil.ite.mee.com>]

Hmm. Well, when CDs are created, the file system used is called iso9660.
What I _think_ has happened is that you have created a file on your hard
disk inside which you have created an ext2 filesystem, but then then you
recorded that file onto a CD. As far as I know, cdrecord will try and
interpreate the file you give it as either a CD image file (ie an
iso9660 file system) or a ufs file system. What it MAY have done is
created an iso9660 image on the CD and copied your file containing the
ext2 onto the CD as a file. In other words, to get at it you need to
mount the CD (as iso9660) and then mount the file inside the CD file
system.

Try using mount without the -t option - it should recognise the file
system on the CD (if it is a working one) and mount it automatically.
you could then ls /mnt/cdrom and see if the file file.ext2 comes up.

Is there a particular reason why you were trying to put an ext2 fiole
system on the CD rather than an ISO9660 one?

Incidentally, if you just want to copy some stuff to a CD, the easiest
way is to use one of the nice graphical CD writing tools that are around
- try xcdroast, for example.

Hope that some of this helps...

Paul.
