i am trying to create a iso image of a directory which is full of movies,songs
etc with genisoimage. But the problem is after creating the image and burning
it with wodim and mounting it, i find the filenames are truncated.
even using "genisoimage -o <isoname> -JR <directory>" does not correct it. from
the man page of genisoimage,
"Each file written to the ISO9660 filesystem must have a filename in the 8.3
format (up to 8 characters,
period, up to 3 characters, all uppercase), even if Rock Ridge is in
use. This filename is used on sys-
tems that are not able to make use of the Rock Ridge extensions
(such as MS-DOS), and each filename in
each directory must be different from the other filenames in the same
directory. genisoimage generally
tries to form correct names by forcing the Unix filename to
uppercase and truncating as required, but
often this yields unsatisfactory results when the truncated names are
not all unique. genisoimage assigns
weightings to each filename, and if two names that are otherwise the
same are found, the name with the
lower priority is renamed to include a 3-digit number (guaranteed to be
unique). For example, the two
files foo.bar and foo.bar.~1~ could be rendered as FOO.BAR;1 and
FOO000.BAR;1"
but i am able to solve the problem by using isomaster.But i prefer cli to gui
and so i want to know if there is any way to do the same with genisoimage or is
there another cli iso creator application that does it without hassle ?
