<<Solved by reinstalling ext4>>XFS??
« on: May 04, 2011, 04:51:05 AM »
I have just done a clean install of 2010.12 on a raid 6 system formatted as XFS.
This is just a base system!!!!
Installed the draklive-install file to create a livecd.
The mylivecd system completed in maybe 5-7 hours. created an iso image of nearly 6GB without complaining.
Question What went wrong????
I have since removed the XFS system and gome back to EXT4 now all is normal

Unless something has changed, there is a limit of some 4GB on a correct ISO produced from mylivecd.

Maybe some partition was included that should not have been?

Hi Just19,
The point is that it actually produced a 6GB mylivecd.iso.
But it took a long time to do it.
I have not anything like this using ext4.
Just wondering?
