mirror-slackware-current fails to create iso's
I'm trying to use mirror-slackware-current.sh to create install disks, but the second cd image fails with:
Code:
Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660. Thanks, Brian |
I've come across two things while Googling (one of which at least you probably saw in a related thread on LQ):
1) There may be a bug in the `tail` command, depending on exactly how that line in the script formats/executes the `tail` and 2) Are you executing this on a Slackware system? If not, it may be an issue where the script thinks it's running under Bash, when in fact it isn't (Like on a Debian-esque machine, where /bin/sh is linked to Dash, not Bash). Hmmmm :scratch: Sasha |
Sasha,
Thanks for the reply. I am executing it on a slackware system. I'm also thinking that the first error, the ominous "Warning: creating filesystem that does not conform to ISO-9660", occurs well before the tail command. Brian |

Disclaimer: I haven't researched ISO9660 compliance ;) so not 100% on whether bootable-ness affects compliance. About the tail command though: if it is for example trying to use `tail` to gather up whatever files it is intending to put into the CD image, and the tail command is borking (hence the tail -- error) then anything from that point on will be borky too. I currently use the DVD method when I run the mirror script, and have had no troubles. Maybe as a test-run, try that for the heck of it, and see what happens?? :) Sasha |
Hi,
Which version of the script are you using? Quote:

What happens when you switch mirrors? It could possibly be a mirror support problem. If the problems is persistent then I would try on another copy of the script if possible. Do you edit the script? If you think the script is OK then what about changing to the 'DVD' format to see what happens? |
Updating to the latest version of the script solved the problem. Thanks all for your help.
