spaces in mounted Live iso images

#1 Post by mdm55 »

debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso mounts as "d-live 12.7.0 ci amd64" which is problematic when used with rsync or other applications.

What is the reason for the spaces in the names of mounted Debian Live .iso images?

Where is it you see what you see? Are you sure you're not looking at a mount's title rather than its mount point?

When not currently mounted, an .iso can be renamed to exclude spaces or special characters.

"Where is it you see what you see? Are you sure you're not looking at a mount's title rather than its mount point?"

When I mount in Nemo by right clicking on "debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-cinnamon.iso" and selecting either "mount archive" or "open with > Disk
Image mounter" the following volume appears in the file system as "d-live 12.7.0 ci amd64"

"When not currently mounted, an .iso can be renamed to exclude spaces or special characters."

Editing the name of the .iso image (e.g., deleting hyphens in the name) does not change the mounted volume name.

Hello,

I assume you are referring to mounting an ISO image using a file manager (such as Thunar) in a desktop environment (such as XFCE or gnome).

Because it is the "volume id" of the ISO image:

Code: Select all

$ isoinfo -d -i debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-gnome.iso  | head -5
CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format
System id: 
Volume id: d-live 12.7.0 gn amd64
Volume set id: 
Publisher id: DEBIAN LIVE PROJECT; HTTPS://WIKI.DEBIAN.ORG/DEBIANLIVE; DEBIAN-LIVE_LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG
If you don't like it, you can change the volume id (credits: [1]):

Code: Select all

$ xorriso -dev ./debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-gnome.iso -volid 'd-live_12.7.0_gn_amd64' -commit
$ isoinfo -d -i debian-live-12.7.0-amd64-gnome.iso  | head -5
CD-ROM is in ISO 9660 format
System id: 
Volume id: d-live_12.7.0_gn_amd64
Volume set id: 
Publisher id: DEBIAN LIVE PROJECT; HTTPS://WIKI.DEBIAN.ORG/DEBIANLIVE; DEBIAN-LIVE_LISTS.DEBIAN.ORG
Hope this helps. Please let me know.

[1] Is there a way to change a .iso files volume id from the command line?
