Hi there.

i used these commands to create my cloop-image since ages:


mkisofs -R -U -hide-rr-moved -cache-inodes -no-bak -pad $SECURIXPATH/source/ | /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs - 65536 > $PATH/master/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX


The last time i used them, i noticed new warning messages from /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs. It seems that the command line syntax changed:



Warning, number as file string found. Assuming old command syntax and
choosing compatible parameters (-m -B 65536). See the usage info (-h)
for better/correct parameters.


So i called /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs -h:


Options:
-b Try all and choose best compression method, see -L
-B N Set the block size to N
-m Use memory for temporary data storage (NOT recommended)


So i tried to use the "new" parameters instead (the program used it above instead of - 65536)


/usr/bin/create_compressed_fs -m -B 65536


The result is an error message:


ERROR:
Infile and outfile must be specified. Exiting...


I tried it serveral times in serveral variants, but was unabled to get the "new" syntax working or the warning removed.
Any hints? Seems to be a bug in the newer version, but i am unsure at all.

Hawkeye.

Alright. Problem solved.

Strange enough - it seems to me that /usr/bin/create_compressed_fs (from KKs cloop 2.02-1) was replaced while running an apt-get upgrade with another Maintainers version. I replaced it again, and everything is fine now.
