 Duh. count=620k seems a better figure. Sorry for that.

 I know that's a bit silly. Probably should have advised him just to use an 
ext2 filesystem. Here I was just explaining how to make a loopback ext3 
file system.

 Strange. I actually tested this on RH 9 before submitting the post (with a 
smaller filesystem to save me some time burning), and I can mount it with 
/dev/cdrom. Now I test it again it works for /dev/cdrom (cd-reader), but 
fails for /dev/cdrom1 (cd-writer). Hm. Maybe something to do with scsi 
emulation?

Bye,
