[wplug] Contents of CD missing in Linux, not XP

[Scott F. Kiesling]

Hi all-

I have a CD with quicktime video that was burned for me, burned using XP
or OSX. The filesystem is iso9660. When I mount the CD, all
I see is this:


kiesling # ls -lh /mnt/cdrom/
total 2.0M
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 243K Sep 27 12:23 Desktop DB
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 1.8M Jul 16 07:55 Desktop DF
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 2.7K Sep 27 12:22 Pear_Film.mov
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root root 2.7K Sep 27 12:22 Pear_Film.mov


This happens whether or not I am root.

I put the cd in an XP machine, and it found the 284Mb video.
It was the only thing there.

Log messages when mounting:

Sep 28 10:27:12 miles ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet
Level 1
Sep 28 10:27:12 miles ISOFS: changing to secondary root


I've googled but see nowhere thisis dealt with (although I'm
having trouble getting good hits -- it's mostly how to burn
CDs in linux!).

Any ideas why the real file is hidden in linux?
