This data is for debian 9.3. However, I remember seeing the problem
with other debian versions and with other hardware systems.
I copy each dvd of the debian software repository from physical dvd media to iso file in a previously created path. I run one line of code at a time, and insert corresponding dvd each time.$
Code:
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/01.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/02.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/03.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/04.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/05.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/06.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/07.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/08.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/09.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/10.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/11.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/12.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/13.iso
dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=1M of=/os/debian/9.3.0/amd64/DVD/iso/14.iso
I check the iso files with MD5SUMS. The first and last iso files are always good. However, the other iso files are usuially corrupt.
To make all the iso files good, I restart the system after each run.
Note that the iso files are all about the same size, except
the last one, which is smaller.
when system starts up, message says watchdog did not stop!
Here is some information I found about watchdog.
systemd sets a "hardware watchdog" timer as a failsafe, to ensure that if the normal shutdown process freezes/fails that the computer will still shutdown after the specified period of time. This time period is defined in the variable ShutdownWatchdogSec= in the file /etc/systemd/system.conf.
#RuntimeWatchdogSec=0
#ShutdownWatchdogSec=10min
So, how can I create the iso files, without restarting the system after each one? And what is causing this to happen?
