You’d have to finalize the RW disc so that it becomes an iso image. You can still erase the disc later.

if you want to unmount the iso file just type

# umount /mnt/disk
disk is the name of the folder you created.

you can then remove the directory

# rmdir /mnt/disk

# mount -t iso9660 -o loop,ro /xx/xx.iso /mnt/iso
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog – try
dmesg | tail or so

Very nice, and simple, how-to. Not much of a Linux guy and this was easy enough I was able to get it the first time I tried.

Any chance you could tell me how to unmount it now?

works great assuming you watch your upper and lower case on the iso name, ha ha

thanks

Yes, you can create full recovery tape or dvd with help of dump and restore command.

Thanks Vivek. This got me thinking… Is it possible to “take a snapshot” of drive with the system installed and make a bootable CD with the image? Possibly it becoming a system recovery?

Use mkisofs command. Create an ISO file that can be opened on both windows and Linux computer for /home/vivek directory.
mkisofs -v -o /tmp/test.iso -R /home/hosting-app

Hi all. I am fairly new to linux, but I need create an ISO from files that are already on my hdd. I’ve searched and to no avail, i’ve not been able to find any info on making an ISO from files that aren’t on CD/DVD. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.
