Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I'm trying to back up some freebsd systems on cdrom. My intention is to have one which people can look at specific file on, or pax/tar/dump over on top of a live, minimally installed OS. /stand has 31 file of considerable size: on a standard system they're all hard links to the same file. All have the same inode number. While it "works" if they're not the same inode number, trying to restore onto a pristine system bombs because these files - now separate - take up an extra 50 MB or so. I've tried mkisofs with and without the -T option but it doesn't appear to use the same inode numbers in either case. How do we do this on the live file system CD, or do we?
