ISO question please help

the Black Sun and said:

Hidden files, most likely. Mount the CD-R with "unhide" to see if that's the problem. That's "mountdev-hdXmnt-cdrom -o unhide" from the command line.

This only works for the first session on data CDs.

The ;1 is the version#, which is masked by the iso9660 filesystem module unless you pbutt it a string of options like "norock,nojoliet,map=off".

Most probable explanation is that the files you can't see were marked "hidden" and you didn't mount the CD-R with "unhide".

As a userspace program, it doesn't honor the hidden mark in the same way as the iso9660 kernel module.

Damned if I know. It may be using libcdio for its ISO-extraction routines, and the current release of libcdio (0.73) had a problem which is corrected in current CVS and should be released soon. Thing is, that problem shouldn't be affecting *this*.

Mount the CD-Rs with "unhide"; that's the easiest and best way to get the data if it works. If not, maybe a combination of isoinfo -f , isoinfo -f -J , and iso-read with some hairy plumbing would get you the things you need. The plumbing is necessary because iso-read -e doesn't understand anything but the 8+3 short names in libcdio 0.73.

Doubt it. Ah well, try unhide, see what you get. HTH,
