If you want to make use of xorriso's capability to create a mountable ISO filesystem with a copy of your directory, then you do not need tar.xorriso -for_backup -outdev /dev/sr0 -map . / \ -close on -commit \ -toc -check_md5 failure -- \ -eject all
This is very, very good advice. The one question I had when reading it was to what extent this faithfully recorded all the metadata for the files that are selected. But I answered that via the xorriso(1) manpage, and "-for_backup" selects all the necessary extensions etc. to do the best job possible. So, +1 for this approach - *especially* the -check_md5 step. -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Jonathan Dowland ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋⠀ https://jmtd.net ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Please do not CC me, I am subscribed to the list.
