unable to mount a CD - iso9660 bug?

unable to mount a CD - iso9660 bug?

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
I have a CD that came with Samsung printer that Linux cannot mount but works 
fine in Windows. The CD is physically OK - "dd" made ISO image without any 
problems. This ISO image is unmountable too. When I force the filesystem to 
iso9660, it mounts but no files are visible:

# mount samsung-bad.iso /mnt/tmp -o loop
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
# mount samsung-bad.iso /mnt/tmp -o loop -t iso9660
# ls -la /mnt/tmp
total 6
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 2048 Oct 30  2009 .
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 Sep 26  2006 ..
# df -h /mnt/tmp
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/loop0            232M  232M     0 100% /mnt/tmp

dmesg shows this:
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A


If anyone can look into this, I can provide a link to the compressed ISO file 
(75MB).

Maybe it's a multi-session disk where the first session is
HFS with Apple software.  Try mounting with -t iso9660 -o session=1.

Still the same - no files. dmesg contains:

ISOFS: Invalid session number or type of track
ISOFS: Invalid session number
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A

Here's the compressed ISO file if anyone wants to examine it:

what is your kernel version? I can mount it successfully in my el5 box 
with kernel 2.6.35+.

I have 2.6.35. Also tried it on another two machines with Debian Squeeze 
2.6.32 and Lenny 2.6.26 with the same result (no files visible when mounted).

Thanks. As Bodo Eggert said, "-o norock" helps.

In fact, I've hit two "bugs":
1. blkid is unable to recognize HFS+ISO9660 CD. Just tracked it down and fixed 
only to find that it was aleady fixed:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commitdiff;h=791a2fd67c118c3f07141e4cc95532fe908015a9

2. some kernel feature - when Rock Ridge is present on iso9660, it's preferred 
over Joliet. The CD contains both but seems that only Joliet has files 
inside? When it's mounted with "-o nojoliet,norock", it's empty too. Can we 
detect this case and avoid it somehow (switch to Joliet?)

[PATCH] [RFC] isofs: work-around for Rock Ridge+Joliet CDs with empty ISO root directory

[Ondrej Zary]

If a CD has both Rock Ridge and Joliet extensions and the ISO root directory
is empty, no files are visible. Disable Rock Ridge extensions in this case and
use Joliet root directory instead.

If you use -onorock, the files are visible.
