[opensuse] Changing cramfs contents

2007-01-16 Thread Kenneth Schneider
Can someone give me some info on changing the contents of a cramfs file?
I have mounted the file using:

mount -o loop -o rw file1 tmp

but when I try and change/delete a file I get an error stating the
filesystem is readonly.

Maybe I'm wrong, but schouldn't your command read: 
mount -o loop,rw  file1 tmp

or mount -o loop -w

Same results as what I used. I end up with a mounted filesystem showing:

type cramfs (rw,loop=/dev/loop1)

but I cannot change anything.

cramfs is a readonly file system. It is compressed with zlib an meant to be 
used in ROM.

Thanks for everyone's help. I ended up doing the following:

created a temp dir as mount point for cramfs filesystem
mounted cramfs to mount point using -o loop
copied all of the structure to a new dir
changed the file that needed changing in the new dir
created new cramfs to replace original

it's like iso9660 in terms of being readonly,
and practically superseded by squashfs.

I did this so I could install 10.2 from a local HD. I'm one of the lucky
ones that needs support for the cciss driver in qparted that was borked
on the orig install media.
