Hi, Ady wrote: > my suggestion to modify the _amount_ of Cylinders was intended to > overcome the "by 4" (or rather, "by 2048") issue. Now i get your intention. You want to align the resulting ISO to 4 full cylinders in order to avoid the need for a cylinder size divisible by 4. This would work. But with -h 255 -s 63 it could waste up to...

Stripe vs Cylinder alignement...
...option to limit complaining). Since the cylinder size is not a multiple of the stripe size, I cannot align on both. I tried to align the begining on the stripe and the end on the end of a cylinder, but sfdisk still compains... Basicaly, I have a 128KB (256 sectors) stripe, and 255*32 = 8160 sectors cylinders. What I am doing is: begin = ( begin / 256 ) * 256 end = ( end / 8160 ) * 8160 -1 So, for my first partition (96MB): begin=256 size = ( ( 96 * 1024 * 2 ) / 8160 ) * 8160 = 195840 sectors end = 195840 - 1 - 256 = 195583 Any idea what I am doing wrong in my calculations or logic? Thx, JD

isohybrid and ISO images whose size is not a multiple of 2048 bytes vs. VirtualBox
Hi, my proposal is based on a mathematical proof (see mail before) and yours is correct too. They cannot but match. Let's inspect your examples: Ady wrote: > ISO size: 1'085'736'960 bytes ( > 1GiB) This are exactly 132 cylinders of 255x63. 132 is divisible by 4. So there is no padding needed. > Cylinders (1st attempt)=132 > [...] > 2120580 / 4 = 530145, so the answer is "yes". My calculation gets align_factor = 4. So isohybrid would pad up to quadruple cylinders. Well, 132 is already such a quadruple...

...age size: round up to a multiple of $h*$s*512 http://git.kernel.org/cgit/boot/syslinux/syslinux.git/tree/utils/isohybrid.c cylsize = head * sector * 512; frac = isostat.st_size % cylsize; padding = (frac > 0) ? cylsize - frac : 0; With -h 255 -s 63, both pad to an integer number of cylinders with an impair multiple of 512 bytes. So if the number of cylinders is not divisible by 4, then the number of bytes is not divisible by 2048.

But we now have a report about failure of 255x63 on a popular pseudo-hardware, when the ISO is presented as DVD-ROM. (Probably there is no complaint when it gets presented as hard disk.)

Ploting 3D cylinder in RGL
Dear all, I would like to draw a 3-D horizontal cylinder preferably in RGL device (because this gives the look from different angles). Basic idea is from http://www.tau.ac.il/cc/pages/docs/sas8/insight/chap18/sect3.htm. Below is the description exactly what I want to do. Please see at figure 18.6, 1st plot. Here it is an confidence ellipsoid. Suppose now you put another 4 same ellipsoids on top

...possible (so users should choose the values of 'h' and 's' accordingly and wisely). 6_ The resulting size of the isohybrid image should better be a multiple of 1MiB. 7_ The starting absolute offset of the resulting partition should better be a multiple of 4KiB. If the amount of cylinders would be a multiple of 2048, we would achieve #1 and #2 (and then #3), but not always #4. One possibility to help with #4 would be to loop the expected calculations of cylinders and resulting image size (please avoid reading the following as real code or calculations; it is not): "cylsiz...

how to plot a graph with different pch
I am trying to plot a graph but the points on the graph should be different symbols and colors. It should represent what is in the legend. I tried using the points command but this does not work. Is there another command in R that would allow me to use different symbols and colors for the points? Thank you kindly. data(mtcars) plot(mtcars$wt,mtcars$mpg,xlab= "Weight(lbs/1000)",
