Hi,

This is really puzzling me:

1) When I put a video-DVD into my drive, it is mounted and it is shown with
*lower* case directory and file names, both via 'ls' and Konqueror.
2) When I create an ISO-image from the same video-DVD and mount that
ISO-image, I see *upper* case case directory and file names.
3) a 'less' of the the ISO-image shows uppercase (apparently 'less' does
interpretation of the ISO-image?)

I'm quite sure this can't be true at the same time, so one of the tools or
views (!) must be wrong.

My hypothesis is the source video-DVD is correct and therefor must have
uppercase names (=spec video-DVD, right?), and the problem must therefor be
in the mounting and/or the presentation of the video-DVD by
mount/ls/konqueror.

Can anyone confirm this, explain this or give tips?

Details below.

FYI: This seems to be the source of the problem of playing video-DVDs on my
Samsung Home Theater.

Found it myself! It indeed is a matter of mounting, and the trick is this
part in the 'mount' option:

map=n[ormal] / map=o[ff] / map=a[corn]
For non-Rock Ridge volumes, normal name translation maps upper
to lower case ASCII, drops a trailing â;1â, and converts â;â to
â.â. With map=off no name translation is done. See norock.
(Default: map=normal.) map=acorn is like map=normal but also
apply Acorn extensions if present.


When I say "-o map=off" or put "map=off" into the options of /etc/fstab,
everything is OK again as the directories on the DVD are shown in uppercase
not lowercase:


sander@athlon64:~$ mount | grep cdrom
/dev/hda on /media/cdrom0 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,map=off)
sander@athlon64:~$
sander@athlon64:~$
sander@athlon64:~$ ls -al /media/cdrom0/

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 2007-04-23 18:56 VIDEO_TS
sander@athlon64:~$


My /etc/fstab now looks like this:
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,map=off 0 0


Solved. And now I must find the real cause of the Samsung problems. :-(
