General :: Growisofs & Iso File 4gb Boundary?
Jun 7, 2010To backup files residing on my system, I've been using mkisofs to create an empty iso file, and then populating it using growisofs: (in an empty directory)
Code:
> mkisofs -graft-points -iso-level 2 -joliet -joliet-long -udf -full-iso9660-filenames -R -o myiso.iso .
> growisofs -M myiso.iso -r -J -use-the-force-luke=4gms <filetoadd>
This was working well for isos to be written to a single-layer DVD, but when I tried to add more data meant to be written to a dual-layer disc, I get this:
":-( next session would cross 4GB boundary, aborting..." I've done some searching and it seems that -use-the-force-luke should have helped, but doesn't. I assume the problems lies with mkisofs in creating an empty iso, but not sure how to get around it. I've only started dabbling with these tools in the past few days. Is it possible to create an empty iso with growisofs, or is there another way of creating an iso file that can contain enough data for a dual-layer disc? I really would like to be able to populate an empty iso as there are scripts involved & the availability of data being backed up might not be available immediately (data being sent for backup from other teams, for example).
Ubuntu :: When Try To Burn Recording To DVD / It Fails On Growisofs
Sep 13, 2010I'm running hauppauge 2250 tuners (2 of them, 4 tuners total).I have the tuners set up and working although when booting up they worked intermitantly until I went through backend setup and restarted the frontend.I solved this by adding a 30 second sleep before backend startup and this seems to have fixed this.I'm still having trouble with burning and ripping dvds.I can play dvds in vlc and mythtv (mythtv since adding the sleep line). but when I try to burn a recording to dvd it fails on growisofs.I get an error 1.I've set the correct region with regionset and I have the dvd codecs.

Aug 9, 2010I make a script to automate burning backup files on dvd. It works fine if I start it from root user, but if I start it. From cronjob do noting. I try on growisofs the option -use-the-force-luke=force but nothing happens. I check the env of cron:
HOME=/root
LOGNAME=root
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

and it seems ok i've got my script in /usr/local/bin and growisofs in /usr/bin
Code of my script below:
#!/bin/bash

totdimfile=0
for FILE in $(/bin/ls -r $bkup_path$prefix)
do
dimfile=`/bin/ls -l $FILE | /usr/bin/awk -F " " '{print $5}' `

then
NAMEFILE=`/bin/ls -l $FILE | /usr/bin/awk -F " " '{print $8}' `
ALLNAMEFILE="$ALLNAMEFILE $NAMEFILE";
fi
done
/usr/bin/growisofs -use-the-force-luke=force -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J $ALLNAMEFILE
/usr/bin/growisofs -M /dev/scd0=/dev/zero
/usr/bin/eject
end code of my script
Software :: Back End Of Growisofs (burning) Using Debian 5.0.4
May 7, 2010I use growisofs to burn image or data files into DVDs. In its manpage it refered that it's a combined genisoimage frontend/DVD recording program. while in genisoimage's manpage
Note that genisoimage is not designed to communicate with the writer directly. Most writers have proprietary command sets which vary from one manufacturer to another, and you need a specialized tool to actually burn the disc. wodim is one such tool. The latest version of wodim is available from [URL]
So,genisoimage still is a front end program. so when my using growisfo to burn something, which bin was used to actually do the burning job? wodim? I am using debian 5.0.4
Ubuntu Multimedia :: Input - Output Error With Growisofs
Mar 10, 2010I use the growisofs command from the terminal to do most of my burning. Mostly because i burn almost the exact same type of file every time so its pretty easy to set up. I've done this dozens of times and never once had a problem before. I loved it because it was so much simpler than doing this in windows where i would need to install a few extra programs and codecs. That was up until today where it started failing every single time i tried to burn something.
For some reason every time i try to burn a disc it gives me this error message:
Code:
I'm really at a loss as to why this is happening. Every thread i found that discussed this problem was mostly focused on k3b or brasero and never really answered the question. As far as i know nothing has been updated since the last time i burned a disc a few days ago. Everything is exactly the same as it was when it worked. The only thing i could think of that might have caused this sudden failure is that i flashed the firmware of another cd drive using the same sata port that this drive is currently plugged into, but that was in windows so i dont see how it could have affected this drive.

A couple of reasons for this.
Internet in this other country is by land line and VERY expensive and slow
It would be useful if it were an image as I am happy with the install on the laptop I have here,, and do not want to spend an age on my hols configuring and installing and playing about... Just install Ubuntu from my CD and then the image to create the same machine.....

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Create An Image For OS Partition?
Oct 30, 2010Ok, have a system with 10.10 with the things I need, I installed this OS on a laptop which has a 40gb drive. 32-bit version. Before installing ubuntu i had Windows7 and had split the drive in 2 partitions (20/20) and currently have an image of the Windows7 OS in the 2nd partition.
Anyway, when installing ubuntu i used the 1st partition that has Windows7 OS and made 3 partitions out of it:
-12gb partition for /root
- 3gb partition for /swap
- 5gb partition for /home
In the Windows world i use Ghost utility(DOS version) to image my single Windows7 partition completely. This works fine.
Since in ubuntu we usually create multiple partitions,
1-what utility can be used to create an image of the partition ?
2-do you JUST create the image of /root ?
I really want to create an image now that i can then restore if something happens to the OS and be back in business quickly without reinstalling ubuntu from scratch.

Jul 4, 2011I have been trying to create a windows 7 system image, for days, using standard win7 tools. I am officially giving up, in frustration. FWIW: I have gained an even deeper respect for Ubuntu, and even more contempt for Microsoft. My tools and setup:
Desktop:
AMD II Quad-core 64-bit, 3ghz, 4gb ram
1TB of disk space, less than 100GB used
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (I didn't like 11.04)
Laptop:
HP G62
Intel i3, dual-core, 3ghz, 4gb ram
500GB of disk space, less than 100GB used
Windows 7 Premier 64-bit
I have a few external HDDs: 640GB, 120GB, and an old 80GB. Also several thumb drives. The desktop, and laptop, are on the same network. Please just point me in the right direction. Do I use NTFSClone, or something else? Also, I would like to dual-boot the laptop with unbuntu, but if that's too difficult, never mind.

Jun 14, 2011I've performed a clean install of Linux on my system, and would like to create a snapshot of my whole disk so that I can go back to a fresh state immediately.
I used to use DriveImage XML and it was a FANTASTIC program, but unfortunately the boot CD containing it can only be created by having Windows installed. So it might be time to explore a new program that is equally simple and effective as that one.
I'd like your recommendations of imaging programs that are free, and that work off a boot CD/DVD (because the live backup thing generally takes much longer for imaging an entire disk).
One thing I liked about DriveImage XML was that it stored the backup in a fairly readable format, so if one day DriveImage XML were no longer available you wouldn't lose your backed up data. Any such programs?
Also, would these programs work for a drive that contains an encrypted root partition (i.e. enabling the encryption checkbox in the CentOS installation)?
