| |
On Linux 2.4.18, I can no longer mount CDROMs that were created using ext2 as the file-system (yes I know this is not specified). I used to use these CDROMs as part of a "rescue" package.
Now, these can still be mounted through the loop device as is shown below....
Script started on Mon May 20 11:12:16 2002 # mount /dev/sr0 /mnt mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0, or too many mounted file systems # mount -o loop /dev/sr0 /mnt # ls /mnt bin dev etc lib lost+found mnt root sbin tmp usr # umount /mnt # exit exit Script done on Mon May 20 11:13:01 2002
So the question is, how could I put the mount options on the command line during LILO boot? I tried root=/dev/sr0 {failed} root="/dev/sr0 -o loop" {failed} root=/dev/sr0,-o,loop {failed} ...etc...
..or.. is there a problem that is going to be fixed to revert to the older behavior ..or.. Am I going to have to redo my rescue stuff to use iso-9660?
Cheers, Dick Johnson
