I have been searching the net for a solution to the problem of reading my DVD
drive correctly.

I am currently running Linux Kernel 2.4.20-8 with RedHat9. I cannot read my
DVD (/dev/cdrom) as a user using udf.

As a user with udf;

[rex@localhost rex]$ ll /mnt
dr--r--r-- 5 4294967295 4294967295 312 Aug 19 10:03 cdrom
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 4 16:18 cdrom1
...etc
[rex@localhost rex]$ ll /mnt/cdrom
ls: /mnt/cdrom/Autorun.inf: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/cdrom/PDFs: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/cdrom/pcw.exe: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/cdrom/Software: Permission denied
ls: /mnt/cdrom/xsys: Permission denied

As root with udf;

[root@localhost rex]# ll /mnt/cdrom
total 88
1 4294967295 4294967295 49 Jun 27 10:45 Autorun.inf
-r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 74209 Aug 13 16:33 pcw.exe
dr--r--r-- 3 4294967295 4294967295 5764 Aug 11 10:57 PDFs
dr--r--r-- 10 4294967295 4294967295 520 Aug 13 13:59 Software
dr--r--r-- 10 4294967295 4294967295 4032 Aug 11 10:58 xsys

The filenames are correct and I can navigate directories with long filenames
OK. Using Konqueror as a user I can of course see nothing.

As user or root with iso9660;

[rex@localhost rex]$ ll /mnt/cdrom
total 83
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 49 Jun 27 10:45 autorun.inf
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 74209 Aug 13 16:33 pcw.exe
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 10:57 pdfs
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 13 13:59 software
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Aug 11 10:58 xsys

But Ialso get the Windoze short filenames;

[root@localhost rex]# ll /mnt/cdrom/software
total 20
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 6144 Aug 14 11:25 essent~2
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 13 08:19 featured
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 8 14:13 fullso~1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 8 15:31 games

dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 13 08:30 resour~1
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Aug 8 08:53 trials~1

The problem appears to be the udf mounting the drive as owned by
0x100000000-1. This cannot be chown'ed as it is a ro drive. Despite the
apparent -r--r--r-- lisitng users cannot read it at all. I cannot think of a
good reason why it is not the same as the iso9660 drive [drwxr-xr-x root
root]

I noticed that bryce@obviously.com had a very similar result in his tests
(below).

Is there some way of changing the udf module to give the correct ownership and
access rights to the mounted directories?

And could this correction become part of the standard linux Kernel?

        Here is the table of contents mounted three ways. First udf, then
        iso9660, then iso9660 nojoliet. Only the udf version works with the
        application. Note that the huge udf filesizes are not a mistake -
        this DVD is also offered as 7 CD set.

Could it be that you are using some old kernel, say, older than
2.4.13, that enables the "cruft" option when it sees a big file?
(You should see the corresponding messages in the logs.)
