What is there seems to be correct.
While attempting to integrate the Joliet patch into isofs, I found this sort of behavior. The problem that I found was that if a directory entry crossed a 2048 byte boundary under certain circumstances, it would skip all files until the next 2048 byte boundary. This showed up quite readily by doing a ls -1 | wc -l on a 2.0.30 system and then on a 2.0.59 system. The numbers of files were drastically different. However, the Joliet patch included this particular fix (or at least I think it did as I haven't actually checked the isofs behavior in 2.1.60). I'll take a further look into the problem if you send me a partial dump of your cd.
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=1024 count=2048 | gzip -c -f | uuencode cd_data.gz > cd_data.uu Send me cd_data.uu, and I'll see what I can find.
