MOUNT_CD9660(8) 					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					   MOUNT_CD9660(8)

NAME
mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660 [-egjr] [-o options] [-s startsector] special node DESCRIPTION
The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by node. This command is normally executed by mount(8) at boot time. The options are as follows: -e Enable the use of extended attributes. -g Do not strip version numbers on files. (By default, if there are files with different version numbers on the disk, only the last one will be listed.) In either case, files may be opened without explicitly stating a version number. -j Do not use any Joliet extensions included in the filesystem. -o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. See the mount(8) man page for possible options and their meanings. -r Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem. -s startsector Start the filesystem at startsector. Normally, if the underlying device is a CD-ROM drive, mount_cd9660 will try to figure out the last track from the CD-ROM containing data, and start the filesystem there. If the device is not a CD-ROM, or the table of contents cannot be examined, the filesystem will be started at sector 0. This option can be used to override the behaviour. Note that startsector is measured in CD-ROM blocks, with 2048 bytes each. SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8) BUGS
POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported. Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use. In this case, accessing files that don't have Rockridge names without version numbers gets the one with the lowest version number and not the one with the highest. There is no ECMA support. HISTORY
The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD. 4th Berkeley Distribution March 27, 1994 4th Berkeley Distribution

NAME
mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 filesystem SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660 [-o options] special node DESCRIPTION
The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 filesystem residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at the location indicated by node. Both special and node are converted to absolute paths before use. The options are as follows: -o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma separated string of options. Besides options mentioned in mount(8) man page, following cd9660-specific options are supported: extatt Enable the use of extended attributes. gens Do not strip version numbers on files and leave the case of the filename alone. (By default, uppercase characters are trans- lated to lowercase, and if there are files with different version numbers on the disk, only the last one will be listed.) In either case, files may be opened without giving a version number, in which case you get the last one, or by explicitly stating a version number (albeit it's quite difficult to know it, if you are not using the gens option), in which case you get the specified version. nocasetrans A synonym for nomaplcase. nojoliet Do not make use of Joliet extensions for long filenames which may be present in the filesystem. Interpretation of Joliet extensions is enabled by default, Unicode file names are encoded into UTF-8. nomaplcase File names on cd9660 cdrom without Rock Ridge extension present should be uppercase only. By default, cd9660 recodes file names read from a non-Rock Ridge disk to all lowercase characters. nomaplcase turns off this mapping. norrip Do not use any Rockridge extensions included in the filesystem. nrr Same as norrip. For compatibility with Solaris only. rrcaseins Makes all lookups case-insensitive even for CD-ROMs with Rock-Ridge extensions (for Rock-Ridge, default is case-sensitive lookup). For compatibility with previous releases, following obsolete flags are still recognized: -e Same as -o extatt. -j Same as -o nojoliet. -g Same as -o gens. -r Same as -o norrip. SEE ALSO
mount(2), unmount(2), fstab(5), mount(8), mscdlabel(8) HISTORY
The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD. Support for Joliet filesystem appeared in NetBSD 1.4. Options nomaplcase and rrcaseins were added in NetBSD 1.5. UTF-8 encoding of Unicode file names for Joliet filesystems was added in NetBSD 3.0. NOTES
For Joliet filesystems, the Unicode file names used to be filtered to ISO-8859-1 character set. This changed in NetBSD 3.0, file names are encoded into UTF-8 now by default. The behaviour is controllable by the vfs.cd9660.utf8_joliet sysctl; the former behaviour is available by setting it to 0. BUGS
For some cdroms the information in the Rock Ridge extension is wrong and the cdrom needs to be mounted with "norrip". A sign that something is wrong is that the stat(2) system call returns EBADF causing, e.g., "ls -l" to fail with "Bad file descriptor". The cd9660 filesystem does not support the original "High Sierra" ("CDROM001") format. POSIX device node mapping is currently not supported. Version numbers are not stripped if Rockridge extensions are in use. In this case, you have to use the original name of the file as recorded on disk, i.e. use uppercase and append the version number to the file. There is no ECMA support. BSD
