@c Notes about embedded man page:
|
|
@c This texinfo code contains the necessary info to produce a man page
|
|
@c which resembles much the version of xorriso.1 from which this code
|
|
@c was originally derived in march 2010.
|
|
@c One can produce the man page by applying the following rules:
|
|
@c The first line gets discarded.
|
|
@c Line start "@c man " will become "", the remainder is put out unaltered.
|
|
@c Lines "@*" will be converted to ".br"
|
|
@c "@c man-ignore-lines N" will discard N following lines.
|
|
@c "@c man-ignore-lines begin" discards all following lines
|
|
@c up to "@c man-ignore-lines end".
|
|
@c Line blocks of "@menu" "@end menu" will be discarded.
|
|
@c "@item word words" becomes "\fBword\fR words".
|
|
@c @b{...}, @command{...}, @dfn{...}, @emph{...}, @strong{...}
|
|
@c get mapped to \fB...\fR .
|
|
@c @abbr{...}, @code{...}, @file{...}, @i{...}, @option{...}, @r{...},
|
|
@c @ref{...}, @samp{...},@var{...}, get mapped to ... .
|

@c @email{...} gets mapped to <...> .
|
|
@c Mapped {...} content is subject to the rules except {...} mapping.
|
|
@c @minus{} will become "-".
|
|
@c @@ , @{, @} will get stripped of their first @.
|
|
@c Other lines which begin by "@" will be discarded.
|
|
@c In lines not stemming from "@c man", "\" becomes "\\"
|

@c man .PP
|
|
@command{xorrisofs}
|
|
produces Rock Ridge enhanced ISO 9660 filesystems and add-on sessions to
|
|
such filesystems. Optionally it can produce Joliet directory trees too.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
@command{xorrisofs} understands options of program mkisofs from cdrtools by
|
|
Joerg Schilling.
|
|
Its implementation is part of program xorriso which shares no source
|
|
code with cdrtools.

@cindex ECMA-119, _definition
|
|
@strong{ISO 9660}
|
|
(aka @strong{ECMA-119}) is a read-only filesystem that is mainly used for
|
|
optical media CD, DVD, BD, but may also reside on other storage devices like
|
|
disk files, USB sticks or disk partitions. It is widely readable by many
|
|
operating systems and by boot facilities of personal computers.
|
|
@*
|
|
ISO 9660 describes directories and data files by
|
|
very restricted filenames with no distinction of upper case and lower case.
|
|
Its metadata do not comply to fundamental POSIX specifications.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex Rock Ridge, _definition
|
|
@strong{Rock Ridge}
|
|
is the name of a set of additional information which enhance
|
|
an ISO 9660 filesystem so that it can represent a POSIX compliant filesystem
|
|
with ownership, access permissions, symbolic links, and other attributes.
|
|
Rock Ridge allows filenames of up to 255 bytes and paths of up to
|
|
1024 bytes.
|
|
@*
|
|
xorrisofs produces Rock Ridge information by default. It is strongly
|
|
discouraged to disable this feature.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex Joliet, _definition
|
|
@strong{Joliet}
|
|
is the name of an additional directory tree which provides
|
|
filenames up to 64 characters encoded as UTF-16.
|
|
A Joliet tree is mainly interesting for reading the ISO image by
|
|
operating systems of Microsoft Corporation.
|
|
Production of this directory tree may be enabled by option -J.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex ISO 9660:1999, _definition
|
|
@strong{ISO 9660:1999}
|
|
is the name of an additional directory tree which provides longer
|
|
filenames. It allows single file names to have up to 207 characters.
|
|
It might be of use with some older computer system boot
|
|
facilities which read neither Rock Ridge nor Joliet but
|
|
need longer filenames nevertheless.
|
|
Production of this directory tree may be enabled by option -iso-level 4.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex HFS+, _definition
|
|
@strong{HFS+}
|
|
is the name of a filesystem which is normally used for writing and reading
|
|
on hard disks and similar devices. It is possible to embed a HFS+ partition
|
|
into the emerging ISO 9660 image and to mark it by Apple Partition Map
|
|
entries. This interferes with options which copy data into the first 32 KiB
|
|
of the ISO image, like -G or -isohybrid-mbr. See option -hfsplus.
|
|
@*
|
|
The main purpose for having an embedded HFS+ partition is booting of
|
|
certain models of Apple computers.

@chapter Inserting files into the ISO image
|

@c man .PP
|
|
@command{xorrisofs} deals with two kinds of file addresses:
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex disk_path, _definition
|
|
@strong{disk_path}
|
|
is a path to an object in the local filesystem tree.
|
|
@*
|
|
@cindex iso_rr_path, _definition
|
|
@strong{iso_rr_path}
|
|
is the Rock Ridge address of a file object in the ISO image.
|
|
If no Rock Ridge information shall be stored in an emerging ISO, then the
|
|
names will get mapped to ISO 9660 names of limited length and character set.
|
|
@cindex pathspec, _definition
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
A program argument is handled as a @strong{pathspec}, if it is not
|
|
recognized as original mkisofs option or additional @command{xorrisofs} option.
|
|
A pathspec depicts an input file object by a disk_path.
|
|
If option -graft-points is not present, then the behavior depends on the
|
|
file type of disk_path. Directories get merged with the /-directory of the
|
|
ISO image. Files of other types get copied into the /-directory.
|
|
@*
|
|
If -graft-points is present then each pathspec gets split at the first
|
|
occurrence of the =-character.
|
|
The part before the = is taken as @strong{target}, i.e. the iso_rr_path for
|
|
the file object in the ISO image. The part after the first = is taken
|
|
as @strong{source}, i.e. the disk_path of the input object.
|
|
@*
|
|
It is possible to make =-characters part of the iso_rr_path by preceding
|
|
them with a \-character. The same must be done for \-characters which
|
|
shall be part of the iso_rr_path.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
If the source part of the pathspec leads to a directory, then all files
|
|
underneath this directory get inserted into the image, too.
|
|
It is possible to exclude particular files from being inserted
|
|
by help of option -m.
|
|
@*
|
|
In case that target already exists, the following rules apply:
|
|
Directories and other files may overwrite existing non-directories.
|
|
Directories get merged with existing directories.
|
|
Non-directories may not overwrite existing directories.

@c man \fBRelation to program xorriso:\fR

@c man .br
|
|
@cindex xorriso, mkisofs emulation
|
|
@command{xorrisofs} is actually a command mode of program @strong{xorriso},
|
|
which gets entered either by xorriso command "-as mkisofs" or by
|
|
starting the program by one of the names "xorrisofs", "mkisofs",
|
|
"genisoimage", or "genisofs".
|
|
@*
|
|
This command mode can be left by argument "@minus{}@minus{}" which leads
|
|
to generic xorriso command mode. See @strong{man xorriso} for its description.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
xorriso performs image reading and writing by help of libburn, which is
|
|
mainly intended for optical drives, but also operates on all POSIX
|
|
file types except directories.
|
|
@*
|
|
The program messages call any image file a "drive". File types which are not
|
|
supported for reading are reported as "blank". The reported free media
|
|
space may be quite fictional.
|
|
@*
|
|
Nevertheless @command{xorrisofs} does not operate directly on optical drives,
|
|
but rather forces libburn to regard them as general device files.
|
|
So for writing of sequential optical media (CD, DVD-R, DVD+R, BD-R)
|
|
one will have to use a burn program. E.g the cdrecord emulation of xorriso.

If they are missing then a new image is composed from scratch.

Set the path from which to load the existing ISO image directory tree
|
|
on which to base the upcoming directory tree as add-on session.
|
|
The path must lead to a random-access readable file object.
|
|
On GNU/Linux: regular data files or block device files.
|
|
@*
|
|
A special kind of pseudo disk_path has the form "/dev/fd/"number.
|
|
It depicts the open file descriptor with the given number, regardless whether
|
|
the operating system supports this feature by file nodes in /dev/fd or not.
|
|
E.g. /dev/fd/3 is file descriptor 3 which was opened by the program that
|
|
later started xorriso.

|
|
Set the 2 KiB block address last_session_start from where to read the
|
|
ISO image out of the file given by option -M.
|
|
@*
|
|
Separated by a comma, set the next_writeable_address to which the
|
|
add-on session will finally be written. Decisive is actually the block
|
|
address which the intended readers will have to use as superblock address
|
|
on the intended medium.
|
|
@*
|
|
Both values can be inquired from optical media by help of burn programs
|
|
and cdrecord option -msinfo. xorriso itself can obtain it in its
|
|
cdrecord emulation.

|
|
Whitespace outside of quotes will be discarded. On the other hand it is
|
|
possible to represent pathspecs which contain newline characters.
|
|
@*
|
|
The double quotation mark " and the single quotation mark ' can be used to
|
|
enclose whitespace and make it part of pathspecs. Each mark

|
|
Map a byte interval of a regular disk file or of a device file into a regular
|
|
file in the ISO image. The file depicted by disk_path has to support random
|
|
read access.
|
|
@*

those files of which the disk_path matches the given shell parser pattern.
|
|
If no /-character is part of the pattern, then it gets matched against

"Unknown ZF compression algorithm" and thus leave a mark in the system log.

Insert all files under the given iso_rr_path. If option -graft-points is given,

then iso_rr_path is prepended to each target part of a pathspec.

@cindex Incremental insertion, enable, -old-root
|
|
Enable incremental insertion of files into the loaded image.
|
|
The effective target and source addresses of given pathspecs get compared
|
|
whether the target already exists in the ISO image and is still identical
|
|
to the source on disk. Metadata in the ISO image will get adjusted, if they
|
|
differ from those on disk.
|
|
New files and files with changed content will get newly added.
|
|
Target files which do not exist in any of the according pathspec sources
|
|
will get removed from the ISO directory tree.
|
|
@*
|
|
If the effective setting of -root differs from the iso_rr_path given
|
|
with -old-root, then the files underneath the -old-root directory get cloned
|
|
underneath the -root directory. Cloning happens before file comparison.

@cindex Incremental insertion, disable disk ino, @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino
|
|
Disable recording and use of disk inode numbers.
|
|
If no disk inode numbers are recorded, then option -old-root will have
|
|
to read disk file content and compare it with the MD5 checksum that is
|
|
recorded in the ISO image.
|
|
@*
|
|
With recorded disk inode numbers and with credible ctime and mtime,
|
|
it is possible to detect potential changes in the content without actually
|
|
reading it.
|
|
A loophole remains if multiple different filesystems may get mounted
|
|
at the same directory, like it is habit with /mnt.
|
|
In this case one has to use option @minus{}@minus{}old-root-devno
|

or disable the inode number shortcut by @minus{}@minus{}old-root-no-ino.

Enable comparison of recorded device numbers together with recorded
|
|
inode numbers. This works only with good old stable device numbers which
|
|
get out of fashion, regrettably. If the hard disk has a different
|
|
device number after each reboot, then this comparison will see all
|
|
files as changed and thus prevent any incremental size saving.

it with disk file content.

If the address exists as regular file, it will be truncated to length 0

A special kind of pseudo disk_path has the form "/dev/fd/"number.

It depicts the open file descriptor with the given number, regardless whether

the operating system supports this feature by file nodes in /dev/fd or not.

E.g. /dev/fd/4 is file descriptor 4 which was opened by the program that

The default with xorriso mkisofs emulation is @minus{}@minus{}stdio_sync "off".

xorriso uses an inner fifo buffer with default size 4 MiB. So forcing

|
|
Attribute a LBA weight number to regular files. If iso_rr_path leads

to a directory then all regular files underneath will get the weight_number.
|
|
@*
|
|
The weight_number may range from -2147483648 to 2147483647.
|
|
The higher it is, the lower will be the block address of the file data
|
|
in the emerging ISO image.
|
|
Currently the El Torito boot catalog has a hardcoded weight of 1 billion.
|

Normally it should occupy the block with the lowest possible address.

|
|
@*
|
|
Only the last @minus{}@minus{}sort-weight-list or
|
|
@minus{}@minus{}sort-weight-patterns of a xorrisofs run gets into effect.
|
|
@*
|

The weight number is read from the start of the line.

The iso_rr_path part of an input line begins immediately after the first blank

|
or tab character of the line.

Notes for the case that this feature is used within a sequence of generic

|
|
@*
|
|
Several such commands may be used to apply more than one weight file.
|
|
@*
|
|
Data files which are loaded by -indev or -dev get a weight between 1 and
|
|
2 exp 28 = 268,435,456, depending on their block address. This shall keep

them roughly in the same order if the write method of modifying is applied.

|
|
The standard ECMA-119 demands that no path in the image shall have more
|
|
than 8 name components or 255 characters. Therefore it would be necessary
|
|
to move deeper directory trees to a higher directory. Rock Ridge offers an
|
|
opportunity to let these relocated directories appear at their original
|
|
deep position, but this feature might not be implemented properly by
|
|
operating systems which mount the image.
|
|
@*
|
|
Option -D disables this deep directory relocation, and thus violates
|
|
ISO 9660 specs.

|
|
Enable the relocation of deep directories and thus avoid ECMA-119 file paths
|
|
of more than 8 name components or 255 characters. Directories which lead to
|
|
such file paths will get moved to a directory in the root directory of the
|
|
image. Its name gets set by this option.
|
|
It is permissible to use the root directory itself.
|
|
@*
|
|
The overall directory tree will appear originally deep when interpreted as

Rock Ridge tree. It will appear as re-arranged if only ECMA-119 information

@*
|

If the given relocation target directory does not already exist when image

@cindex HFS+, enables production
|
|
Enable the production of an additional HFS+ filesystem inside the ISO 9660
|
|
image and mark it by Apple Partition Map (APM) entries in the System Area,
|
|
the first 32 KiB of the image.
|
|
@*
|
|
This may collide with options like -G or -isohybrid-mbr which submit user data
|
|
for inclusion in the same address range.
|
|
The first 8 bytes of the System Area get overwritten by
|
|
@{ 0x45, 0x52, 0x08 0x00, 0xeb, 0x02, 0xff, 0xff @}
|
|
which can be executed as x86 machine code without negative effects.
|
|
So if an MBR gets combined with this feature, then its first 8 bytes
|
|
should contain no essential commands.
|
|
@*
|
|
The next blocks of 2 KiB in the System Area will be occupied by APM entries.
|
|
The first one covers the part of the ISO image before the HFS+ filesystem
|
|
metadata. The second one marks the range from HFS+ metadata to the end
|
|
of file content data. If more ISO image data follow, then a third partition
|
|
entry gets produced. Other features of xorriso might cause the need for
|
|
more APM entries.
|
|
@*
|
|
Be aware that HFS+ is case-insensitive although it can record file names
|
|
with upper-case and lower-case letters. Therefore, file names from the iso_rr
|
|
name tree may collide in the HFS+ name tree. In this case they get changed
|
|
by adding underscore characters and counting numbers. In case of very long
|
|
names, it might be necessary to map them to "MANGLED_...".
|
|
@*
|
|
WARNING:
|
|
@*
|
|
The HFS+ implementation in libisofs has a limit of 125,829,120 bytes for the
|
|
size of the overall directory tree. This suffices for about 300,000 files

of normal name length. If the limit gets exceeded, a FAILURE event will be

@c man .PP
|
|
The precondition for a bootable ISO image is to have in the ISO image
|
|
the files of a boot loader. The boot facilities of computers get
|
|
directed to such files, which usually execute further program files
|
|
from the ISO image.
|
|
@command{xorrisofs} can produce several kinds of boot block or boot record,
|
|
which become part of the ISO image, and get interpreted by the according
|
|
boot facility.

@cindex El Torito, _definition
|
|
An @strong{El Torito}
|
|
boot record points the bootstrapping facility to a boot catalog
|
|
with one or more boot images, which are binary program files stored in
|
|
the ISO image.
|
|
The content of the boot image files is not in the scope of El Torito.
|
|
@*
|
|
xorriso composes the boot catalog according to the boot image
|
|
files given and structured by options -b, -e, -eltorito-alt-boot,
|
|
and @minus{}@minus{}efi-boot. Often it contains only one entry.
|
|
@*
|
|
Normally the boot images are data files inside the ISO filesystem. By
|
|
special path "--interval:appended_partition_NNN:all::" it is possible to
|
|
refer to an appended partition. The number NNN gives the partition number
|
|
as used with the corresponding option -append_partition.
|
|
E.g.:
|
|
@*
|
|
-append_partition 2 0xef /tmp/efi.img
|
|
@*
|
|
-e --interval:appended_partition_2:all::

El Torito gets interpreted by boot facilities PC-BIOS and EFI.

Most bootable GNU/Linux CDs are equipped with ISOLINUX or GRUB boot images

|
|
@*

|
"@minus{}@minus{}interval:"Flags":"Interval":"Zeroizers":"Source
|

|
a plain disk path but rather a interval reader description string.
|

The component Flags modifies the further interpretation:
|
|
@*
|
|
"local_fs" demands to read from a file depicted by the path in Source.
|
|
@*
|
|
"imported_iso" demands to read from the -indev. This works only if -outdev
|
|
is not the same as -indev. The Source component is ignored.
|
|
@*
|
|
"appended_partition_NNN" with a decimal number NNN works only for options
|
|
which announce El Torito boot image paths: -b, -e, --efi-boot. The number gives
|
|
the partition number as used with the corresponding option -append_partition.
|
|
@*
|
|
The component Interval consists of two byte address numbers separated by a "-" character. E.g. "0-429" means to read bytes 0 to 429.
|
|
@*
|
|
The component Zeroizers consists of zero or more comma separated strings.
|
|
They define which part of the read data to zeroize. Byte number 0 means
|
|
the byte read from the Interval start address.
|
|
Each string may be one of:
|
|
@*
|
|
"zero_mbrpt" demands to zeroize the MBR partition table if
|
|
bytes 510 and 511 bear the MBR signature 0x55 0xaa.
|
|
@*
|
|
"zero_gpt" demands to check for a GPT header in bytes 512 to 1023,
|
|
to zeroize it and its partition table blocks.
|
|
@*
|
|
"zero_apm" demands to check for an APM block 0 and to zeroize
|
|
its partition table blocks.
|
|
@*
|
|
Start_byte"-"End_byte demands to zeroize the read-in bytes beginning
|
|
with number Start_byte and ending after End_byte.
|
|
@*
|
|
The component Source is the file path with flag "local_fs", and ignored with
|
|
flag "imported_iso".
|

@*
|
|
Byte numbers may be scaled by a suffix out of @{k,m,g,t,s,d@} meaning
|
|
multiplication by @{1024, 1024k, 1024m, 1024g, 2048, 512@}. A scaled value

end number depicts the last byte of the scaled range.

Number may be 0x00 to 0xff. The text "default" re-enables the default types

Enforce an MBR partition with "bootable/active" flag if options like
|
|
@minus{}@minus{}protective-msdos-label or @minus{}@minus{}grub2-mbr are given.
|
|
These options normally cause the flag to be set if there is an

If no such partition exists, then no bootflag is set, unless

If no bootable MBR is indicated by other options and a partition gets created

|

@cindex Mountability, by non-trivial partition 1, -partition_offset
|
|
Cause a partition table with a single partition that begins at the
|
|
given block address. This is counted in 2048 byte
|
|
blocks, not in 512 byte blocks. If the block address is non-zero then it must
|
|
be at least 16. Values larger than 16 are hardly of use.
|
|
A non-zero partition offset causes two superblocks to be
|
|
generated and two sets of directory trees. The image is then mountable from its
|
|
absolute start as well as from the partition start.
|
|
@*
|
|
The offset value of an ISO image gets preserved when a new session is added
|
|
to a loaded image.
|
|
So the value defined here is only in effect if a new ISO image gets written.

|
|
Set the number of sectors per head for the MBR partition table.
|
|
0 chooses a default value. Maximum is 63.
|
|
@*
|
|
The product partition_sec_hd * partition_hd_cyl * 512 is the cylinder size.
|
|
It should be divisible by 2048 in order to make exact alignment possible.
|
|
With appended partitions and -appended_part_as_gpt there is no limit for
|
|
the number of cylinders. Else there may be at most 1024 of them.
|
|
If the cylinder size is too small to stay below the limit,
|
|
then appropriate values of partition_hd_cyl are chosen with
|
|
partition_sec_hd 32 or 63. If the image is larger than 8,422,686,720 bytes,
|
|
then the cylinder size constraints cannot be fulfilled for MBR.
|

They seem not overly important anyway.

Flat block addresses in partition tables are good for 1 TiB.

Cylinder size must be divisible by 2048.

|
|
Cause a prepared filesystem image to be appended to the ISO image and to be
|
|
described by a partition table entry in a boot block at the start of the
|
|
emerging ISO image. The partition entry will bear the size of the submitted
|
|
file rounded up to the next multiple of 2048 bytes or to the next multiple
|
|
of the cylinder size.
|
|
@*
|
|
Beware of subsequent multi-session runs. The appended partition will get
|
|
overwritten.
|
|
@*
|
|
partition_number may be 1 to 4. Number 1 will put the whole ISO image into
|
|
the unclaimed space before partition 1. So together with most xorriso MBR
|
|
or GPT features, number 2 would be the most natural choice.
|
|
@*
|
|
The type_code may be "FAT12", "FAT16", "Linux",
|
|
or a hexadecimal number between 0x00 and 0xff. Not all those numbers will
|
|
yield usable results. For a list of codes search the Internet for
|
|
"Partition Types" or run fdisk command "L".
|
|
If the partition appears in GPT then type_code 0xef is mapped to the EFI System
|
|
Partition Type GUID. All others get mapped to Basic Data Type GUID.
|
|
@*
|
|
type_code may also be a type GUID as plain hex string like
|
|
a2a0d0ebe5b9334487c068b6b72699c7 or as structured text like
|
|
EBD0A0A2-B9E5-4433-87C0-68B6B72699C7. It will be used if the partition is
|
|
mentioned in GPT. In MBR, C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B will be mapped
|
|
to 0xef. Any other GUID will be mapped to 0x83.
|
|
In APM, 48465300-0000-11AA-AA11-00306543ECAC will be mapped to partition
|
|
type "Apple_HFS", any other to "Data".
|
|
@*

|
Marks partitions from -append_partition in GPT rather than in MBR.
|
|
In this case the MBR shows a single partition
|
|
of type 0xee which covers the whole output data.
|
|
@*
|
|
By default, appended partitions get marked in GPT only if GPT is produced
|
|
because of other options.
|
|
@*
|
|
This option raises the maximum number of appended partitions from 4 to 8.
|
|
But it is not guaranteed that the resulting GPT partition will have the
|
|
given partition_number. Other GPT partitions may emerge. The final sorting by
|
|
start block address may put one of them in the partition entry with the desired
|
|
number, so that the appended partition will get a higher number.
|
|
@*
|
|
Given MBR partition types get translated.
|
|
0xef becomes C12A7328-F81F-11D2-BA4B-00A0C93EC93B, others become

A string of 32 hex digits, or a RFC 4122 compliant GUID string may be used to

a RFC 4122 GUID string to be byte-swapped in the binary representation:

E.g. @minus{}@minus{}gpt_disk_guid 2303cd2a-73c7-424a-a298-25632da7f446

FAILURE event, which normally leads to program abort.

One may determine the ability for Jigdo by:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -version 2>&1 | grep '^libjte' && echo YES
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .PP
|
|
The .jigdo file contains checksums and symbolic file addresses.
|
|
The .template file contains the compressed ISO image with reference tags
|
|
instead of the content bytes of the listed files.
|
|
@*
|
|
Input for this process are the normal arguments for a @command{xorrisofs}
|
|
session with no image loaded, and a checksum file which lists those
|
|
data files which may be
|
|
listed in the .jigdo file and externally referenced in the .template file.
|
|
Each designated file is represented in the checksum file by a single text line:
|
|
@*
|
|
Checksum as hex digits, 2 blanks, size as 12 decimal digits or blanks, 2 blanks,
|
|
symbolic file address
|
|
@*
|
|
The kind of checksum is chosen by -jigdo "checksum_algorithm" with values "md5"
|
|
(32 hex digits) or "sha256" (64 hex digits).
|
|
It will also be used for the file address lines in the .jigdo file.
|
|
The default is "md5".
|
|
@*
|
|
The file address in a checksum file line has to bear the same basename as the
|
|
disk_path of the file which it shall match. The directory path of
|
|
the file address is decisive for To=From mapping, not for file recognition.
|
|
After To=From mapping, the file address gets written into the .jigdo
|
|
file. Jigdo restore tools will convert these addresses into really
|
|
reachable data source addresses from which they can read.
|
|
@*
|
|
If the list of jigdo parameters is not empty, then padding will be
|
|
counted as part of the ISO image.

@section Perform multi-session runs
|
|
This example works for multi-session media only:
|
|
CD-R[W], DVD-R[W], DVD+R, BD-R.
|
|
Add cdrskin option @minus{}@minus{}grow_overwriteable_iso
|
|
to all -as cdrecord runs
|
|
in order to enable multi-session emulation on overwritable media.
|
|
@*
|
|
The first session is written like this:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -graft-points \
|
|
@*
|
|
/tree1=prepared_for_iso/tree1 \
|
|
@*
|
|
| xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=fast -multi -eject -
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Follow-up sessions are written like this (the run of dd is only to give demons
|
|
a chance to spoil it):
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ m=$(xorriso -as cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 -msinfo)
|
|
@*
|
|
$ dd if=/dev/sr0 count=1 >/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
@*
|
|
$ xorrisofs -M /dev/sr0 -C $m -graft-points \
|
|
@*
|
|
/tree2=prepared_for_iso/tree2 \
|
|
@*
|
|
| xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 -waiti -multi -eject -
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Always eject the drive tray between sessions.
|
|
@*
|
|
The run of xorriso -as mkisofs will read old sessions via the CD-ROM
|
|
driver of /dev/sr0. This driver might not be aware of the changed content
|
|
as long as the medium is not loaded again. In this case the previous session
|
|
would not be properly assessed by xorriso and the new session would contain
|
|
only the newly added files.
|
|
@*
|
|
Some systems have not enough patience with automatic tray loading and some
|
|
demons may interfere with a first CD-ROM driver read attempt from a freshly
|
|
loaded medium.
|
|
@*
|
|
When loading the tray manually, wait 10 seconds after the drive has stopped
|
|
blinking.
|
|
@*
|
|
A safe automatic way seems to be a separate run of xorriso for loading
|
|
the tray with proper waiting, and a subsequent run of dd which shall offer
|
|
itself to any problems caused by demons assessing the changed drive status.
|
|
If this does not help, insert a run of "sleep 10" between xorriso and dd.

@section Let xorriso work underneath growisofs
|
|
growisofs expects an ISO formatter program which understands options -C and
|
|
-M. A variable is defined to override the hardcoded default name.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ export MKISOFS="xorrisofs"
|
|
@*

|

@*
|
|
$ growisofs -M /dev/dvd /more/files
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
If no "xorrisofs" is available on your system, then you will have to create
|
|
a link pointing to the xorriso binary and tell growisofs to use it. E.g. by:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ ln -s $(which xorriso) "$HOME/xorrisofs"
|
|
@*
|
|
$ export MKISOFS="$HOME/xorrisofs"
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
One may quit mkisofs emulation by argument "@minus{}@minus{}" and make
|
|
use of all xorriso commands. growisofs dislikes options which
|
|
start with "-o" but -outdev must be set to "-".
|
|
So use "outdev" instead:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ growisofs -Z /dev/dvd @minus{}@minus{}for_backup @minus{}@minus{} \
|
|
@*
|
|
outdev - -update_r /my/files /files
|
|
@*
|
|
$ growisofs -M /dev/dvd @minus{}@minus{}for_backup @minus{}@minus{} \
|
|
@*
|
|
outdev - -update_r /my/files /files
|
|
@*
|
|
Note that @minus{}@minus{}for_backup is given in the mkisofs emulation.
|
|
To preserve the recorded extra data it must already be in effect, when
|
|
the emulation loads the image.

This changes the directory trees /open_source_project and /personal_mail
|
|
in the ISO image so that they become exact copies of their disk counterparts.
|
|
ISO file objects get created, deleted or get their attributes adjusted
|

@*

ACL, xattr, hard links and MD5 checksums will be recorded.

Always have a blank medium ready to perform a full backup in case the update

attempt fails due to insufficient remaining capacity. This failure will

not spoil the old medium, of course.

If inode numbers on disk are not persistent, then use

With @strong{mount} option @strong{-o "sbsector="} on GNU/Linux
|
|
or @strong{-s} on FreeBSD or NetBSD
|
|
it is possible to access the session trees which represent the older backup
|
|
versions. With CD media, GNU/Linux mount accepts session numbers directly by
|
|
its option "session=".
|
|
@*
|
|
Multi-session media and most overwritable media written by xorriso can tell
|
|
the sbsectors of their sessions by xorriso option -toc:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -dev /dev/sr0 -toc
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
xorriso can print the matching mount command for a session number:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -mount_cmd /dev/sr0 session 12 /mnt
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
or for a volume id that matches a search expression:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -mount_cmd /dev/sr0 volid '*2008_12_05*' /mnt
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Both yield on standard output something like:
|
|
@*
|
|
mount -t iso9660 -o nodev,noexec,nosuid,ro,sbsector=1460256 '/dev/sr0' '/mnt'
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
The superuser may let xorriso execute the mount command directly:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
# osirrox -mount /dev/sr0 "volid" '*2008_12_05*' /mnt

@section Incremental backup with accumulated trees
|
|
Solaris does not offer the option to mount older sessions.
|
|
In order to keep them accessible, one may map all files to a file tree under
|
|
a session directory and accumulate those directories from session to session.
|
|
The -root tree is cloned from the -old-root tree before it gets
|
|
compared with the appropriate trees on disk.
|
|
@*
|
|
This demands to know the previously used session directory name.
|
|
@*
|
|
With the first session:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -root /session1 \
|
|
@*
|
|
-o - @minus{}@minus{}for_backup -m '*.o' -m '*.swp' \

@section Create bootable images for PC-BIOS and EFI
|
|
The SYSLINUX/ISOLINUX boot loader suite is popular for booting PC-BIOS.
|
|
The ISOLINUX wiki prescribes to create on disk a directory ./CD_root and
|
|
to copy all desired files underneath that directory. Especially file
|
|
isolinux.bin shall be copied to ./CD_root/isolinux/isolinux.bin .
|
|
This is the boot image file.
|
|
@*
|
|
The prescribed mkisofs options can be used unchanged with @command{xorrisofs}:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -o output.iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
@*
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
@*
|
|
./CD_root
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Put it on CD by a burn program. E.g.:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/sr0 blank=as_needed output.iso
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .sp 1
|
|
The image from above example will boot from CD, DVD or BD, but not from
|
|
USB stick or other hard-disk-like devices. This can be done by help of an
|
|
isohybrid MBR. Syslinux provides matching template files
|
|
as isohdp[fp]x*.bin . E.g. /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin .
|
|
@*
|
|
If a few hundred KB of size do not matter, then option -partition_offset
|
|
can be used to create a partition table where partition 1 starts not
|
|
at block 0. This facilitates later manipulations of the USB stick by
|
|
tools for partitioning and formatting.
|
|
@*
|
|
The image from the following example will be prepared for booting via MBR
|
|
and its first partition will start at hard disk block 64.
|
|
@*
|
|
It will also boot from optical media.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorrisofs -o output.iso \
|
|
@*
|
|
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
|
|
@*
|
|
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
|
|
@*
|
|
-isohybrid-mbr /usr/lib/syslinux/isohdpfx.bin \
|
|
@*
|
|
-partition_offset 16 \
|
|
@*
|
|
./CD_root
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Become superuser and copy the image to the unpartitioned base device file
|
|
of the USB stick. On GNU/Linux this is e.g. /dev/sdb, not /dev/sdb1.
|
|
@*
|
|
CAUTION:
|
|
This will overwrite any partitioning on the USB stick and make
|
|
remaining data unaccessible.
|
|
@*
|
|
So first make sure you got the correct address of the intended device.
|
|
E.g. by reading 100 MiB data from it and watching it blinking:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
# dd bs=2K if=/dev/sdb count=50K >/dev/null
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
Now copy the image onto it
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
# dd bs=2K if=output.iso of=/dev/sdb
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .sp 1
|
|
Now for EFI:
|
|
@*
|
|
The boot image file has to be the image of an EFI System Partition,
|
|
i.e. a FAT filesystem with directory /EFI/BOOT and boot files with
|
|
EFI prescribed names: BOOTIA32.EFI for 32 bit x86,
|
|
BOOTx64.EFI for 64 bit AMD/x86 (in UEFI-2.4 there is indeed a lower case "x"),
|
|
BOOTAA64.EFI for 64 bit ARM. The software in the FAT filesystem should be
|
|
able to find and inspect the ISO filesystem for boot loader configuration and
|
|
start of operating system. GRUB2 program grub-mkimage can produce such a
|
|
FAT filesystem with suitable content, which then uses further GRUB2
|
|
software from the ISO filesystem.
|
|
@*
|
|
EFI boot equipment may be combined with above ISOLINUX isohybrid for PC-BIOS
|
|
in a not really UEFI-2.4 compliant way, which obviously works well. It yields
|
|
MBR and GPT partition tables, both with nested partitions.
|
|
Assumed the EFI System Partition image is ready as ./CD_root/boot/grub/efi.img,
|
|
add the following options before the directory address ./CD_root:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot -e 'boot/grub/efi.img' -no-emul-boot \
|
|
@*
|
|
-isohybrid-gpt-basdat \
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
More compliant with UEFI-2.4 is to decide for either MBR or GPT and to
|
|
append a copy of the EFI System Partition in order to avoid overlap of
|
|
ISO partition and EFI partition. Here for MBR:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
-eltorito-alt-boot -e 'boot/grub/efi.img' -no-emul-boot \
|
|
-append_partition 2 0xef ./CD_root/boot/grub/efi.img \
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
The resulting ISOs are supposed to boot from optical media and USB stick.
|
|
One may omit option -eltorito-alt-boot if no option -b is used to make
|
|
the ISO bootable via PC-BIOS.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .sp 1
|
|
For ISOs with pure GRUB2 boot equipment consider to use GRUB2 tool
|
|
grub-mkrescue as frontend to xorrisofs.
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
@c man .sp 1
|
|
If you have a bootable ISO filesystem and want to know its equipment plus
|
|
a proposal how to reproduce it, try:
|
|
@*
|
|
@sp 1
|
|
$ xorriso -hfsplus on -indev IMAGE.iso \

-report_el_torito plain -report_system_area plain \

@*
|
|
HOME is used to find xorriso and mkisofs startup files.
|
|
@*
|
|
MKISOFSRC may be used to point the program to a mkisofs startup file.
|
|
@*
|
|
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH belongs to the specs of reproducible-builds.org.
|
|
It is supposed to be either undefined or to contain a decimal number
|
|
which tells the seconds since january 1st 1970. If it contains a number,
|
|
then it is used as time value to set the default of
|
|
@minus{}@minus{}modification-date=.
|
|
@minus{}@minus{}gpt_disk_guid defaults to "modification-date".
|
|
The default of @minus{}@minus{}set_all_file_dates is then "set_to_mtime".
|
|
Further the "now" time for ISO nodes without disk source is then set to
|
|
the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH value.
|
|
@*
|
|
Startup files and program options can override the effect of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
