Re: [gentoo-user] CD burning with full filenames

Using Rock Ridge extension AND translation tables (man cdrecord) does. One should avoid Joliet if the CD shall not be used on Wondies. Regards Frank PS: Excuse me that middle posting ;) If this is for backup purposes you might be better off just making a tar file and burning that directly to CD - tar is designed for archiving, after all. The resulting CD will be readable by e.g. tar tvf /dev/cdrom. I ended up tar'ing it and it works fine. Thanks for everyone's help. - Grant -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried specifying Joliet and Rock Ridge but the output from mkisofs looks like the filenames are being altered. - Grant You only used Joliet (-J)? Maybe you need this option instead (or as well): -joliet-long Allow Joliet filenames to be up to 103 Unicode characters. This breaks the Joliet specification - but appears to work. Use with caution. The number 103 is derived from: the maximum Directory Record Length (254), minus the length of Directory Record (33), minus CD-ROM XA System Use Extension Information (14), divided by the UTF-16 character size (2). You might also want -l Allow full 31 character filenames. Normally the ISO9660 filename will be in an 8.3 format which is compatible with MS-DOS, even though the ISO9660 standard allows filenames of up to 31 characters. If you use this option, the disc may be difficult to use on a MS-DOS system, but this comes in handy on some other systems (such as the Amiga). Use with caution. Check man mkisofs for more details :) . Hope this helps, Holly -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

I tried specifying Joliet and Rock Ridge but the output from mkisofs looks like the filenames are being altered. This is normal, because both Rock Ridge and Joliet work by providing additional translation tables from the mangled ISO filenames to the normal names. So mkisofs is still has to generate the mangled names...and tells you it is doing so. Just mount the resulting ISO with mount -o loop,ro file.iso /mnt/cdrom and see for yourself. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
