And this is the solution to the wikipedia riddle. This one gets redirected to .../Disk_image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disk_image This one leads to the article from which [email protected] quoted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_disc_image I am so blind against the difference that i needed the shell's text comparison and bisection to find it in these URLs. Before that i was too dumb to simply try the URL given by David Wright in https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2026/01/msg00596.html . My way to the "disc" URL was through the wiki history of the not redirected "disk" page. To come back to the original statments by [email protected] citing from Optical_disc_image with "c" in "disc": > "... disk image ... written to an optical disk, disk sector by disc sector > ...". > Not directly comparable to ext4. Yeah. What is written there about CD track structure looks even more discouraging for putting ext4 on optical media. But an ext4 filesystem will probably be put into the only track of the CD, which will be a data track. This means that my ext4 adventure of https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2026/01/msg00592.html is valid for CD, too. Have a nice day :) Thomas
