Kern, I googled that "Unknown file type" mkisofs "error", and while I didn't find any specific explanation I did find lots of examples where this message was spit out for the target pathspec and it seemed to be normal; stuff burned following that message was OK; most of the messages around the Internet containing this error message are really about problems with the subsequent burn itself and have nothing to do with mkisofs -- once they figured out how to get, e.g., cdrecord to work, their stuff was fine, even with this message.
But I think I'll wait until you build your own rescue CD before I experiment, just to be safe (and save time :-). --Gary Kopp -----Original Message----- From: Kern Sibbald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 2:47 PM To: Gary Kopp Cc: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Rescue Handles LVM?

Yes, I'm concerned about it. I haven't tried building it in the last month or so, so possibly there is something wrong, or RedHat has changed something on RHEL4 (I think the last one I used was RHEL3, and I'm now on FC4). Anyway, there seems to be something wrong with the 1.38 rescue rpm so I'll probably be building it in the next couple of days as well. > I'll have to > rebuild the ISO anyway before I do a burn once I figure out what I need in > the scripts for my LVM partitioning. Most likely the file you will need to modify is rescue/linux/cdrom/bacula/getdiskinfo It is also possible that you will need to modify the boot procedure, but that is less likely -- it is also much more complicated ... > > --Gary Kopp > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kern Sibbald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, December 20, 2005 1:52 PM > To: bacula-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Cc: Gary Kopp > Subject: Re: [Bacula-users] Rescue Handles LVM? > > On Tuesday 20 December 2005 21:17, Gary Kopp wrote: > > A search didn't turn up anything on this, so let me ask before I > > potentially work myself into a corner.
