filenames on cdrom or images are cutted

BeNoMiS · 02-04-2005, 03:39 PM

Hello there,

Since a few day's I walk agains a strange problem.
When I mount a cdrom or an image from a cdrom the contents are cutted off to 8 signs

f.e. netopyr@Dukla ~ $ ls /mnt/cdrom/movies/
humaned.mpq nighte~1.mpq tutori~1.mpq undeaded.mpq
humanop.mpq orced.mpq tutori~2.mpq

I have totaly no idea how it becomes like this or how to change it back so I can install any games again on my computer. (now installers complains about missing files because they are cutted off).

does anyone have any idea?

regards

Code:

netopyr@Dukla ~ $ uname -a
Linux Dukla 2.6.10-gentoo-r1 #4 SMP Fri Jan 21 14:44:46 CET 2005 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux

It might have something to do with the CDROM file system used ... you might want to look at that

you forgot to enable it in your kernel config

go to file systems->cd/dvd filesystems and make sure microsoft joliet extensions is set.

I was thinking about that also but the cdroms are just iso9660...

if they use vfat as the filesystem you will need the extensions.

this is why they are being displayed as they are ( in DOS filenames longer than 8 characters are truncated and a tilde is used).

check and make sure you compiled support for vfat and the extensions

It might help if you try setting the filesystem when you mount the cdrom to auto. It will work if you have microsoft joilette extensions compiled into your kernel
