cd filesystems?

[Mats]

I wonder if someone know if it's possible to burn a cd or dvd
with some type of BSD system on it? And why? Because I want to be
able to copy files like .bashrc and other such files and that
they should keep their names, and even better if they can keep
their owners and right (chown and chmod).

I can't see why not... Though I've never tried it.

There are RockRidge extensions for ISO9660 which do exactly this...

Thank's a lot Philip. It worked perfectly, except for the
ownerships but that's not a big issue and easy to fix later.

In our last episode, <VWsdi.2397$ZA....@newsb.telia.net>, the lovely and
talented Mats broadcast on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:

See Burning Raw Data CDs in the Handbook. However mkisofs -UR
should produce an iso image that is as you want. In either case,
you will have a coaster if you want the CD to be readable on a non-FBSD
system.

Good idea! And I don't want it to be readable from any other os,
so that tip was perfect. Or I will have a very slim frisbee at
the beach :-)

The user ID and group ID of a file are saved in RockRidge images, but
they may not be very useful if you move the resulting CD-ROM to another
system -- where IDs may not be matching one by one.

This isn't really a RockRidge problem though, but a more general issue
which may come up with any sort of removable media (USB sticks, CD-ROMs,
DVD-ROMs, etc.). It is even a `problem' with misconfigured NFS shares.

Thanks Giorgos. And I think that I have had that problem with
misconfigured NFS shares. It was when I was on an embedded
project I think, with diskless booting.
