[bug #32998] grub-mkrescue ISO images bootable as disk (like isohybrid) but not mountable within Linux

[Sebastian Pipping]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #32998 (project grub):

Short version: I think this bug can be closed.


I just check with GRUB 2.00~beta6.  I am able to mount the resulting .iso file
directly:


# grub2-mkrescue --output=grub.iso
Enabling BIOS support ...
xorriso 1.2.2 : RockRidge filesystem manipulator, libburnia project.

Drive current: -outdev 'stdio:grub.iso'
Media current: stdio file, overwriteable
Media status : is blank
