[9fans] Can't make CD without temporary file

[Blake McBride <blake@integra-online.com>]

Greetings,

I am attempting to create a CD.  I am able to do it just fine
with the following commands:

cdfs -d /dev/sdC1 -m /usr/glenda/cd
disk/mk9660 -9cj -s /usr/glenda/MyApp /usr/glenda/cdimage
cp /usr/glenda/cdimage /usr/glenda/cd/wd/cdimage
rm /usr/glenda/cd/wd
unmount /usr/glenda/cd

The problem is that I don't want to have to create the temporary
image file cdimage.

The example in CDFS(4) states that you can create write to a CD
without the intermediate file with:

disk/mk9660 -9cj -n notice cdproto >cd/wd/foo

but that doesn't work because mk9660 expects a file argument and
doesn't send its output to stdout so > won't work.

I even tried:

disk/mk9660 -9cj -s /usr/glenda/MyApp /usr/glenda/cd/wd/cdimage

in an effort to write directly to the CD but I got:

disk/mk9660: cannot create '/usr/glenda/cd/wd/cdimage': bad mode (use
OWRITE)

But, of course, I am able to:

cp /usr/glenda/cdimage /usr/glenda/cd/wd/cdimage

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
