Re: "Too much files to mangle" error

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

> https://drive.google.com

They want me to become a member. So i let the slow download go on.
It ended after about 6 hours.

Program "file" says about the download result:

  gzip compressed data, max compression, from Unix

But after gunzip the file has surplus 96 bytes at the start

  0d  00  00  00  00  00  00  00  6e  69  78  2d  61  72  63  68
  69  76  65  2d  31  00  00  00  01  00  00  00  00  00  00  00
  28  00  00  00  00  00  00  00  04  00  00  00  00  00  00  00
  74  79  70  65  00  00  00  00  07  00  00  00  00  00  00  00
  72  65  67  75  6c  61  72  00  08  00  00  00  00  00  00  00
  63  6f  6e  74  65  6e  74  73  00  48  10  3b  01  00  00  00

As cleartext:
                                   n   i   x   -   a   r   c   h
  i   v   e   -   1
  (
  t   y   p   e
  r   e   g   u   l   a   r
  c   o   n   t   e   n   t   s       H       ;

and trailing 16 bytes at the end

  01  00  00  00  00  00  00  00  29  00  00  00  00  00  00  00

This seems to be an extra wrapping around the ISO. But "file" just says
that it is "data".

I removed the prefixed bytes by creating a loop device with offset 96 and
copying its content to a new data file. This also stripped the trailing
16 bytes due to block alignment truncation.
Now i have a recognizable ISO of the size which its partition table tells:
  10318244 + 5760 = 10324004 blocks of 512 = 5,285,890,048 bytes

Which program would i use regularly to unpack the ISO ?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whatever, i can now reproduce the error message.
(There are 47 HFS+ name collisions reported as resolved by DEBUG verbosity.)

The size of the ISO and the speed of xorriso when compiled with -O0 will
cause quite long program runs.
So it may last a while until i found out what exactly goes wrong.


Have a nice day :)
