In the initial post of this thread you wrote: > > > Added to ISO image: directory '/'='/tmp/grub.GoPPTa' > > > xorriso : UPDATE : 982 files added in 1 seconds and in the most recent post: > Added to ISO image: directory '/'='/tmp/grub.hAhUTa' > xorriso : UPDATE : 939 files added in 1 seconds 43 files difference. Exactly the number of .mo files in the most recent post and the number of .mo~ files in your initial post. Just to be sure: Was there any difference in the arguments of your grub-mkrescue run in your initial post and the grub-mkrescue run which produced /tmp/grub.hAhUTa, except the -o paths ? If there was no significant difference in the arguments then the creation of the .mo~ files would have to happen while xorriso is already running. Quite unlikely ... normally. Back to source code studying. I see that grub_install_copy_files() is called multiple times if more than one of GRUB_INSTALL_PLATFORM_I386_PC, GRUB_INSTALL_PLATFORM_I386_EFI, or GRUB_INSTALL_PLATFORM_X86_64_EFI is configured. So can it be that your /tmp filesystem has the habit to keep backup copies when files are overwritten ? (But why would that not have happened with the interrupted run ?) I'm not sure whether cp would do what grub_install_copy_file() does. So why not try everything together: echo "Initial content" >/tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test echo "Overwritten content" >/tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test ls -a /tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test~ echo "cp content" >/tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test_cp_source cp /tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test_cp_source /tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test ls -a /tmp/grub.hAhUTa/overwrite_test~ Have a nice day :) Thomas
