Hi folks,

My goal is the files after burned on CD preserving their original permissions, symlinkes, etc. So that I can use the CD as a mobile HD transferring files between PC. After mounting the CD the files can be read directly on File-Manager, without further work such as decompressing, mounting the tarball, etc., and they can be opened/edited and saved onto the PC.


I just read "man mkisofs" on RockRidge. I'm not sure whether following command line can help?

If original directories and files;
owner = satimis:satimis
permission = 0664

# mkisofs -o cd.iso -r -uid satimis -gid satimis -dir-mode 0664 -file-mode 0664 -new-dir-mode 0664 /path/to/data

I have to go to another PC to check. I'm now working on Knoppix Live-CD on a PC with a new HD but without OS. However if some files are executable I haven't figured out how to preserve it.


I'm not clear of -z option, what does it mean "transparently compressed file" and "the resulting disks are only transparently readable'?

Any advice? TIA


Hi linmix,

One point popup on my head. Applying dd do both partitions need to be equal size?

As far as I know the destination partition can be the same size or bigger. With partimage this is certainly the case.
