A 2 step approach might be to make a loopback image, then burn that to CD. Though a mounting would be a 2 step approach requiring root access. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Michael Schwendt Sent: Friday, December 19, 2003 1:51 AM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: How to burn a ext3 file system on a cd?

All that works for me is reading the superblock with dumpe2fs. It might also have something to do with how ISO 9660 is designed specifically for CDs and their different media access technique (if it's not just for increased efficiency). Spent a bit at Google, and it there other success/failure reports about burning ext2 to CD. --
