For the SUSP/RRIP entries, yes.
It will not exercise the hardlink collection code
for the local disk filesystem, though.

Not if you do not want to restore the files to disk
in the same run.
The new production run is supposed to keep those files
together which share the same data content blocks in
the input image.

Since my ext3 is so limited, i used xorriso command
-setfattr to put larger amounts of attribute data onto
files and the root directory after mapping them into
the ISO.

Good to know that there is not another problem with
picky readers.

I have to face the fact that my (and Vreixo's) reading
of SUSP specs is not compliant with the understanding
of the reader programmers.
Luckily my workaraound/correction seems to be more
disgestible for them.


Have a nice day :)
