[Emc-developers] problem recompressing part of BDI-Live! rc-46

[Jon E. <el...@pi...>]

Hello,

(I suspect Paul will be the only one to even know what I'm talking about 
here.)

I have changed a few files and am trying to recompress what goes in
file mainmod/KDE-Dev.mod on the BDI-Live CD.  I already got through changing
and recompressing the EMC.mod file, and it reads fine with cloop, so I know
the general method is OK.

First, I unpacked what was in mainmod/KDE-Dev.mod tp /mnt/main, and then 
changed the
gnuplot file with the X-enabled one.

Then, I tried to recompress /mnt/main, the command I used was  :

mkisofs -r -l -J -v /mnt/main | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > 
/mnt/KDE-Dev.mod

It gets ~ 5800 65K blocks into it and ends with "Killed".  But, I didn't 
kill it.
I've had this happen 3 times now.  I've copied the whole tree to 
/dev/null, so
it isn't a bad block on the disk.

Does anyone know what is causing this error, and what I can do to make it
work right?  (I also don't think I'm running out of disk space, as 
there's 1.4 GB
free in the partition it is writing to.  It isn't running out of swap 
space, as the
swap partition is 1.2 GB.)

Thanks,

Jon
