MIC-LIVECD-ISO-TO-DISK(1)				      General Commands Manual					 MIC-LIVECD-ISO-TO-DISK(1)

NAME

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk - Convert a livecd image to a live USB image then write to a USB disk or partition

SYNOPSIS

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk [--reset-mbr] [--noverify] [--overlay-size-mb <size>] [--home-size-mb <size>] [--unencrypted-home] <isopath>
       [usbstick device]

       <isopath> is your livecd image path name, [usbstick device] is optional, if not provided, it will detect automatically and ask you to
       select.

DESCRIPTION

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk can convert a livecd image to a live USB image and write it to a USB disk or partition, it is different from mic-
       image-writer which is just a safer dd with progress bar.

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk can detect all the removable USB disks and let you select one of them, if you didn't insert any USB disk, it will
       ask you to insert until a USB disk is available, it can decide if your USB disk need to be formated and if your USB disk has an appropriate
       partition for this livecd image, all the operations are interactive and have warnings f they will damage your old data on your USB disk.

       mic-image-manager has a GUI tool for it.

OPTIONS

       --reset-mbr     Set MBR on your USB disk

       --noverify      Don't verify your livecd image

       --overlay-size-mb      Specify overlay size, the default size is 64 MB

       --home-size-mb	      Specify home size, the default is 0

EXAMPLES

       Write a Molib live image to your USB disk:

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk your-2.1-final.img

EXIT STATUS

       mic-livecd-iso-to-disk returns  a  zero	exist  status  if it succeeds, otherwise return non-zero and print error message.

NAME

       tgtimg - Linux SCSI Target Framework Image File Utility

SYNOPSIS

       tgtimg [-o --op <operation>] [-Y --device-type <device-type>] [-b --barcode <barcode>] [-s --size <size>] [-t --type <media-type>]
	      [-f --file <path>]

       tgtimg --help

DESCRIPTION

       Tgtimg is a utility to create and manage the image files used by the TGTD device emulation.

       This command is used to initialize device image files with the additional metadata, such as barcode, list of blocks, total size, etc that
       the TGTD emulation needs.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	   Show a help screen and exit.

       -o, --op {new|show}
	   Operation. Is either new to create a new image file or show to show the content of an existing image file.

       -Y, --device-type <type>
	   This specifies the type of image file.

	   Supported device types are :
	       cd   : to create media for a dvd device
	       disk : to create media for a disk device
	       tape : to create media for a tape device

       -t, --type <media-type>
	   When creating a new image, this specifies the type of media to emulate. The available mediatypes depend on the type of the device.

	   Supported media types for cd devices are :
	       dvd+r : create a blank writeable DVD+R disk

	   Supported media types for disk devices are :
	       disk  : create an empty disk

	   Supported media types for tape devices are :
	       data  : create a normal data tape
	       clean : create a cleaning tape
	       worm  : create a worm

       -b, --barcode <barcode>
	   When creating a new image, this argument specifies the barcode to use with this image file. Backup application software often uses
	   barcodes to identify specific tapes. When emulating a VTL, make sure that all tape images use unique barcodes.

       -s, --size <size>
	   When creating a new image, this specifies the size in megabytes for the virtual tape image.

       -f, --file <path>
	   The filename of the image file.

EXAMPLES

       To create a new 100MByte disk

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type disk --type disk --size 100 --file /data/hd001.raw

       To create a new tape image

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type tape --barcode 12345 --size 100 --type data --file /data/tape001.img

       To view the content of an existing image

		 tgtimg --op show --device-type tape --file /data/tape001.img

       To create a new blank DVD+R image

		 tgtimg --op new --device-type cd --type dvd+r --file /data/dvd001.iso
