Hi, I want to use growisofs to burn a premastered iso boot image, with a rescue system on it which contains scripts to dump or rebuild the machine to a earlier dumped State.
growisofs -speed=1 -Z /dev/dvd=rescue.iso the next step is, to dump the disk's or partitions (at the moment to a nfs mounted disk): dd if=/dev/disk | gzip -9 > /nfs-mount/disk.dd.gz after this has finished the file is written to th dvd: growisofs -speed=1 -M -J -R /dev/dvd /nfs-mount/ I'v made several tries to write on the fly (without the file on the nfs-mounted filesystem) via named pipes but did not hav any succes. the man page of growisofs contains a sample for initial writing throu a pipe, but this works only for preformatted (iso) images or parts of a mounted filesystem. i tried using named pipes but i got only the directory entry of the pipe to dvd: mkfifo /tmp/pipe.dd.gz dd -if /dev/disk | gzip -9 > /tmp/pipe.dd.gz & growisofs -M -J -R /dev/dvd /tmp/pipe.dd.gz rm /tmp/pipe.dd.gz any ideas ??
