~Subject: ISOFS with RockRidge
the ISOFS in NetBSD 0.9 is not allways working correctly too.
The same problem was allready mentioned with FreeBSD under this
Subject:
[..]
Description:
isofs mishandles relocated directories, and all special files
including block, char, symbolic links, and fifo's.
It sort of handles symlinks, they don't show up when you just enter
'ls' in a dir, you have to enter 'ls -l symlink-file'.
Also, when mounted with -norrip mount flag, isofs still uses posix
filenames instead of ISO9660.
But apperenlty the bug is fixed with code form NetBSD: (!!!)
Fix:
This is a port of NetBSD's isofs to FreeBSD. The following files are
patched:
[..]
Now I am using NetBSD 0.9. But the bugfix is showing a lot of more changes
than in my isofs code do exist. The big patch which showed in this
newsgroup up was for FreeBSD.
I had a look at it, but I also can't use it with NetBSD 0.9.
What I would like to see is a new patch for NetBSD0.9 or better, the
*complete* code for isofs, so I could install it in NetBSD 0.9!
Is it ftp'able anywhere ?
