Public bug reported:

Description of problem:

Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, libcdio from 0.83 to
0.90 it cannot read Linux .iso files that use Rock Ridge for file name
encoding.

With libcdio up to 0.90 iso-read gives bad results for .iso files > 4GB.
Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, some Linux distro
images are that large.

Steps to reproduce problem:

1.  From bug report https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39373 get
most recent file iso-read-test.sh at
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=30554

2.  Run that file either plain or with a single parameter 5000, such as
./iso-read-test.sh
./iso-read-test.sh 5000

3.  At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT" where you should see
nothing but "read back OK".

Actual results:

At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT".

Expected results:

You should see nothing but "read back OK".

Additional info:

There were more than one problems in libcdio 0.90, not just the 4G
limit.  E.g. Rock Ridge support (often needed for Linux) wasn't compiled
in by default.

libcdio 0.92 fixes a lot of problems, and has been out for several
months, and has been working well so far.

Relevant fixes cannot be isolated for patching 0.83.

There also is a discussion in docs files at https://github.com/srguiwiz
/nrvr-commander/blob/master/docs/which-version-iso-read.txt

One example use at https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander but this
affects any attempt to make virtual machines from distro image .iso
files as plain user.

An Ubuntu LTS should release with a healthy libcdio 0.92.
