[Bug 64383] Re: UDF not properly recognised

 

I have the same issue with usb-creator. It picks-up my kubuntu 10.04
alternate.iso just fine (I assume because The Powers have decided to
include a joliet file system in the (k)ubuntu installation disks (so
this doesn't have to be fixed?). However, my two puppy installation
disks for my dell i8k don't have joliet, so they don't get recognized
(unable to find Joliet SVD).

I would have thought this would be fixed by now, (2 years, and how many
distributions?), if for no other reason, than out of pride (since Joliet
is a MS specification).

Title:
  UDF not properly recognised

Status in File Roller:
  New
Status in usb-creator:
  Confirmed
Status in “file-roller” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  UDF iso images almost always also have an ISO9660 file-system on them but the two filesystems need not point to the same set of files.

I recently downloaded an iso image that has all the real data on UDF and just a README.TXT on ISO9660 which basically just says "This CD requires a system which supports the UDF filesystem."  File Roller only sees the README.TXT.  It should probably use UDF if it's available since it doesn't have all of the restrictions that ISO9660 has and the only reason to have a different set of files on the two filesystems is if UDF contains data that ISO9660 can't contain properly.
