MOUNT_CD9660(8) NetBSD System Manager's Manual MOUNT_CD9660(8)
NAME
mount_cd9660 -- mount an ISO-9660 file system
SYNOPSIS
mount_cd9660 [-G gid] [-M mask] [-m mask] [-o options] [-U uid] special
node
DESCRIPTION
The mount_cd9660 command attaches the ISO-9660 file system residing on
the device special to the global file system namespace at the location
indicated by node. Both special and node are converted to absolute paths
before use.
The options are as follows:
-G group Set the group of the files in the file system to group. The
default gid on non-Rockridge volumes is zero.
-M mask Specify the maximum file permissions for directories in the
file system. See the -m description for details.
-m mask Specify the maximum file permissions for files in the file
system. (For example, a mask of 755 specifies that, by
default, the owner should have read, write, and execute per-
missions for files, but others should only have read and exe-
cute permissions). See chmod(1) for more information about
octal file modes. Only the nine low-order bits of mask are
used. The default mask on non-Rockridge volumes is 755.
-o Options are specified with a -o flag followed by a comma sep-
arated string of options. Besides options mentioned in
mount(8) man page, following cd9660-specific options are sup-
ported:
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 translated 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 file-
names which may be present in the file system.
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 exten-
sion 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
file system.
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).
-U user Set the owner of the files in the file system to user. The
default uid on non-Rockridge volumes is zero.
For compatibility with previous releases, following obsolete flags are
still recognized:
-e Same as -o extatt.
-g Same as -o gens.
-j Same as -o nojoliet.
-r Same as -o norrip.

HISTORY
The mount_cd9660 utility first appeared 4.4BSD. Support for Joliet file
system appeared in NetBSD 1.4. Options nomaplcase and rrcaseins were
added in NetBSD 1.5. UTF-8 encoding of Unicode file names for Joliet
file systems was added in NetBSD 3.0.
NOTES
For Joliet file systems, 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 set-
ting 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 file system 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.
