Not possible to pack files back to CF card

[bni]

Im using macOS, and unpacking from the CF card works fine.

xdftool /dev/disk2 unpack .

However writing my changes back doesn't work:

xdftool /dev/disk2 pack AmigaOS 'pack AmigaOS' IOError: can't overwrite existing image file

xdftool /dev/disk2 write README does work however

I tried to wipe the contents, using these commands: rdbtool /dev/disk2 init rdbtool /dev/disk2 add bs=4096 size=100% bootable

But same error when trying to pack

did you try -f ?

That got me another error message:

When using rdf, you need to define which partition to pack to: xdftool -f /dev/disk2 open part=DH0 + pack AmigaOS

That was it. Thanks for your help

Just to improve the experience here: 02fb212 adds support to pack into a partition even without open... (pack now behaves like the other xdftool commands and implicitly uses the first partition image in an rdb)

Please test :)

I can confirm that it works now without open, assuming you have one partition only I guess.
