Sorry for the long delay; had to take the kids to Disney World . I'm attaching two patches, both against 2.5.20. Please be gentle, I'm a kernel newbie. Patch #1: bugfix.patch Fixes a bug in the parsing of options for the isofs driver. Behavior was on an unrecognized option to simply return success. A mount -o blatnik,, would silently lose all the useful options. This should be applied, imho, regardless. Patch #2: reversehide.patch I've eliminated the 'unhide' option and made that behavior the default (show files with the hidden bit on). I've added a 'hide' option which hides files marked with the hidden bit. I've also preserved the behavior which hid 'associated' files by default, and added a 'showassoc' mount option, which will cause the driver to show files marked with the associated bit. (The prior behavior was that unhide would show both hidden and associated files) Issues: 1. I have no CDs with associated files on them, and thus this change is completely untested. Looks good to me . 2. Arguably, this same change should be made to the udf driver, but I do not have a DVD writer, nor a DVD with either hidden or associated files, so I would be unable to test any such patch made. I'm willing to submit a patch that compiles, if that would be of value. Thanks, Jeremy Alan Cox wrote: >On Mon, 2002-06-03 at 18:05, Jeremy White wrote: > > >>>possible rather than impossible.
