## snapshot iso size

Sun Oct 14, 2012 4:15 am

Anyone played with the -allow-limited-size genisoimage option? I believe I used it once in the past and made a iso about 10gb in size and it worked fine in qemu/kvm. I was just wondering if there are consequences(if any) of using it on smaller images. I am trying to determine if it would be a safe default?

I went ahead and added it to knockoff. I figure the best way to find out if it works is to add it and wait for people to complain that it isn't working.
I created a 11gb iso that seems to work in kvm/qemu but I haven't tried it beyond that.
Now I need to try small iso images and see if they still work alright.

There's a thread around here where we talked about the iso size problem, but I just got home from the party I went to yesterday, so I'm not looking for it right now.

If you post the changes I'll test it.
