Follow-up Comment #10, bug #32998 (project grub): Mounting the entire ISO image (/dev/sda) will result in the entire device being marked as busy, and so no other partitions will be accessible so long as the ISO is mounted. Supplying the _-partition_offset_ option to grub-mkrescue will result in

Follow-up Comment #11, bug #32998 (project grub): +verbatime+ Patch to modify grub-mkrescue which makes the protective partition a mountable one. This exposes the first 32k of the drive image as writable to applications which obey the boundaries of the partition table. diff -ruN

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #32998 (project grub): Short version: I think this bug can be closed. I just check with GRUB 2.00~beta6. I am able to mount the resulting .iso file directly: # grub2-mkrescue --output=grub.iso Enabling BIOS support ... xorriso 1.2.2 : RockRidge filesystem

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #32998 (project grub): Not quite. Mounting grub.iso as a whole works the same as mounting the disk rather than the partition. Try putting the .iso you generated on a USB disk, inserting it, and seeing if automounting works. Because the disk has a partition table,

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #32998 (project grub): Sounds like the bug of automounting. You should take this to automount guys rather than complaining here. I would have done so, if not for isohybrid managing to create a similar disk image without causing the same problem. That possibility

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #32998 (project grub): isohybrid creates a secondary FAT filesystem for this but it's more of a workaround for automount problem. ___ Reply to this item at: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?32998

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #32998 (project grub): We're not going to use isohybrid for a whole range of reasons. Instead we collaborate with xorriso and add needed features to it. Secondary FAT generation is on the table but not (rather not only) because of this problem. This is still a bug in

Follow-up Comment #2, bug #32998 (project grub): I realize that mounting the whole disk rather than the partition would work. However, because the disk has a partition table on it, Linux detects the partition, and then the automatic mounting tools try to mount the partition. That works for
