Package: genisoimage Version: 9:1.1.2-1 Severity: important
The following behaviour is in error on arm only, at least on my NSLU2 running etch. On i386 and amd64, the error does not occur. Steps to reproduce on an arm machine: cd <somewhere safe> mkdir tmp1 touch tmp1/nullfile-with-long-name genisoimage -R tmp1/ >RR-arm-1.iso # note: this succeeds, and then RR-arm-1.iso will loop-mount perfectly # well with Rock Ridge active, so nullfile-with-long-name shows with # the right name genisoimage -M RR-arm-1.iso -C 0,0 -R tmp1/ >RR-arm-2.iso On my arm machine, the last command produces the following: ---------- I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) genisoimage: **BAD RRVERSION (0) for � NO Rock Ridge present Disabling Rock Ridge / XA / AA ---------- (BUT note well that, as above, mount handles the RR extensions of RR-arm-1.iso perfectly.) On i386 and on amd64, I get success and the following, as expected: ---------- I: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings) Rock Ridge signatures found ---------- The effect is exactly the same if -r is used in place of -R. I doubt very much whether the -C 0,0 is the cause: it works on i386 and amd64 and I've tried different values. I've discussed this a bit on the debian-arm list, and have asked whether others see the same behaviour, in particular on the lenny and sid version of genisoimage (9:1.1.7.1-1). I'll report if I get a response. The best guess (due to Tobias Frost) in the discussion has been that it could be an endian issue; but if so, it seems to be in the initial read code of genisoimage. I've categorised this as important because it renders useless, on arm, the excellent genisoimage/growisofs ability to grow an isofs (eg for daily backups). I'm happy to provide more info if I can - but I'm reluctant to upgrade my slug to sid just to elucidate this bug. I may investigate qemu as a potential way to try that (thanks to Tim Small for that suggestion).
