That's a cool idea that I didn't think of. I was thinking of piping the output of mkisofs onto cdrecord directly:
mkisofs <options> | cdrecord <options> instead. Since I have a bunch of "standard" mkisofs aliases that I use for backing up various chunks of data, my mkisofs command rarely fail so I won't waste too many blank cd's that way... neal On Saturday 08 June 2002 18:50, Bob Proulx wrote: > > The reason is, obviously, that cdrecord is setuid root, and so the > > attempt to open the iso file on the nfs share appeared to come from > > root, and with root_squash on the nfs export, it couldn't get at the > > file. > > [...] > > > Any thoughts or suggestions? > > How about this?
