• mounting iso9660 doesn't preserve full names


    Pawel
    • Annoyance

    Steps to reproduce:
    Ubuntu:
    - sudo mount myiso.iso -t iso9660 test

    - ls test/Photos

    Results:

    u.png.9dd200614eba1e53124f53935d69b447.png

     

    Same is on unraid side:

    - mount /mnt/disk4/test/myiso.iso -t iso9660 /mnt/disks/test/
    - ls test/photos  (no uppercase 'P')

    u.png.a8c19c0b208fce8d49e7e471e09e0626.png

     

    also used GUI for that (Add iso file share).

    How I should mount it properly - i want to preserve long names of files?

     

    EDIT: I'm using unraid 6.9.2

    From the mount(8) man page:

    Normal iso9660 filenames appear in a 8.3 format (i.e., DOS-like restrictions on filename length), and in addition all characters are in upper case. Also there is no field for file ownership, protection, number of links, provision for block/character devices, etc.

     

    Rock Ridge is an extension to iso9660 that provides all of these unix like features. Basically there are extensions to each directory record that supply all of the additional information, and when Rock Ridge is in use, the filesystem is indistinguishable from a normal UNIX filesystem (except that it is read-only, of course).

     

    What is the origin of your .iso file? Is it Rock Ridge compatible? Using a standard Kubuntu installation image, it works fine for me:

     

    root@Pusok:~# mkdir t
    root@Pusok:~# mount -t iso9660 /mnt/user/isos/kubuntu-20.10-desktop-amd64.iso t
    mount: /root/t: WARNING: source write-protected, mounted read-only.
    root@Pusok:~# ls t
    EFI/                boot/         casper/  install/    pics/  preseed/
    README.diskdefines  boot.catalog  dists/   md5sum.txt  pool/  ubuntu@
    root@Pusok:~# ls t/casper
    filesystem.manifest                 filesystem.size          initrd
    filesystem.manifest-minimal-remove  filesystem.squashfs      vmlinuz
    filesystem.manifest-remove          filesystem.squashfs.gpg
    root@Pusok:~# umount t
    root@Pusok:~# rmdir t

     

    I suggest you try the same (or similar) standard file.

    No Rock Ridge... so how ubuntu does it and shows filles with long names?

    Unraid even has newer version of mount:

    mount from util-linux 2.36 (libmount 2.36.0: btrfs, mtab, namespaces, assert, debug)

    vs ubuntu:

    mount from util-linux 2.34 (libmount 2.34.0: selinux, smack, btrfs, namespaces, assert, debug)

    Standards are so good that everyone wants their own, so that's what Microsoft did:

    See here: https://tldp.org/HOWTO/CDROM-HOWTO/x1186.html#AEN1328

     

    Perhaps Joliet support is not included in the Unraid kernel but it is in the Ubuntu kernel. That would make sense because Unraid is not a general purpose Linux and has a lot of unnecessary options removed. If that's the case then your options would be:

    • re-create your .iso with Rock Ridge enabled;
    • use a different image file format that supports long filenames and mixed case natively;
    • use an Ubuntu VM to mount the .iso file;
    • make a feature request for Joliet support to be included in a future release;
    • investigate the possibility of compiling your own kernel with Joliet support included.
