[Voyage-linux] Install to regular file

[Frank Hoeflich]

Jordi:

    Thanks for replying.  I dug up the script you posted and it appears to still treat $TARGET_DISK as a block special device and $TARGET_PART as a partition number.  This doesn't apply if you're loopback mounting a regular file (or portions of it) and attempting to treat the loopback as a `block device'.

I used to use dd. But lately I'm using a custom script similar to voyage update. The script and an upgrade of it are posted to this mailing list.

Folks:



    I've done well installing my Voyage 0.6.5 and 0.7.5 systems directly to compact flash for my ALIX via voyage.update from the SDK.  Is anyone out there installing directly to a dd'able, loopback-mounted regular file for production?  I tried whacking a couple of the scripts to make this happen but still haven't gotten a good burn from the file produced.  I can burn to CF first and then dd off the result to a regular file (works), but would like to eliminate the burn step for production purposes.  Any shared experience will be appreciated.
