Tried the last hours to debug a growisofs problem; which finally turned
out to be a UDF problem; after I found
#433bf632f7ad2f55
growisofs writes proper DVDs of any size; only mount doesn't work; any
file larger than 2 GB will show with wrong content and a negative size.
No wonder, it mounts as iso9660.
But how do I get it mounted as udf ? I tried
mount -t udf /dev/cd0c /dvd, but it comes with a blue kernel message:
udf-mount: enforcing read-only mode
mount -t udf /dev/cd0c dvd
mount_udf: mount: Invalid argument
while
mount /dev/cd0c dvd
is fine, but as iso9660
The FAQ says:
The newer Universal Disk Format (UDF) filesystem on some
DVDs is not supported. However, almost all DVD-Video and DVD-RM discs use the
UDF bridge format, which is a combination of the DVD MicroUDF (subset of UDF
1.02) and IS 9660 file systems. This bridge format provides backwards
compatibility for operating systems which do not yet support UDF.
And man mount_udf says:
The mount_udf command attaches a UDF filesystem (typically found on a
DVD) residing on the device special to the global filesystem namespace at
the location indicated by node. This command is invoked by mount(8) when
using the syntax
mount [options] -t udf special node
Can someone please shed a light on this, thanks,
Uwe
P.S.: I know that growisofs works okay, since everything mounts fine on
Linux

It is exactly the same drive with which the growisofs wrote the data.
The dmesg has been floating around, so I only add the passage on the DVD

njet. zero.

that's from sys/isofs/udf/udf_vfsops.c, and actually it's udf_mount:

that's not a message from a fatal error, it's just "informative".

I *did* understand this. It was added for completeness of this report.
No, my -t udf didn't mount it. The default mounts it properly, except for
large files. It looks exactly like in that cited google post; like jumping
to negative numbers at an integer overflow. I could live with the wrong
size indication, but the content also is screwed. Anything below 2 GB is
perfect.
Have you tried with a large file ? I have been using it successfully,
only yesterday I wanted to burn some 'dump'-images to DVD when the
mess showed at my control mounts after burning. And I expected growisofs
initially.

This was fixed in 8/11, and made the stable tree on 1/12.
