Creating disk images
I'm sure this is an easy one to answer - how do I turn a directory into a disk image of the sort that is mountable via mount -o loop?
I've been playing with comressed ram disk images on floppies (dd if=/dev/fd0 of=disk1.img.gz; gzip -d disk1.img), and it seems that when i mount them and alter their structure and contents, the image file itself remains unchanged. All I'd like to know is how to roll my own - I've been thinking about setting up a few 1.44 meg logical partitions so i can just dd them into files, but surely there's an easier way... |
