This message continues discussion of the problem previously discussed a bit here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-stable/2013-April/073050.html Release ISO images located at ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-amd64/ were generated with mkisofs(8) upto 8.2-RELEASE until the switch to makefs(8). It is possible to unroll FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso correctly with respect to hardlinks using xorriso command from ports: # xorriso -for_backup -load volid \* -indev ../FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso -osirrox on -- -extract / livefs -rollback_end The ./rescue subdirectory is full of hardlinks and takes less than 10M on-disk. For 8.3-RELEASE and later resulted subdirectory takes about 700MB. The image FreeBSD-10.0-RC1-amd64-disk1.iso can be unrolled using similar command without obvious errors, but the resulted hardlinks are broken. This image has no /rescue but /bin/ln and /bin/link that should be hardlinks. They are not. So, upcoming FreeBSD-10.0-RELEASE-amd64-livefs.iso would have broken hardlinks too, I guess, unless fixed before release. Eugene Grosbein
