Rockridge was originally meant as a Unix/Linux solution to the
limitations of ISO9660 CD writing. It is useful because
(a) it can co-exist with other formats such as Joliet (Windows)
extensions etc and
(b) a CD done in Rockridge + Joliet can be read by other systems,
anydircetory structures like Joliet and Rockridge are ignored by
systems which don't understand them and the underlying ISO9660
structures are used instead, although it means you only get truncated
8.3 filenames and a few levels of directories.
Joliet and Rockridge work around those limitations to some extent and
if recorded properly, the CDs gain their benfits on systems which
understand them, if not, other systems can still read them to a
limited extent.
