Understood. However, why can't that combination "just work"? Changing /etc/fstab every time I switch between sticking in a CD-ROM and DVD-ROM is not cool. Certainly that "other operating system" does not make me do that.
A disk with a blank iso9660 plus a full UDF ought to automatically mount UDF, no? How hard would that be to detect?

PS: I manually mount anyway, and only have two DVD-ROMs, so it's not such a big deal for me. But as DVD rom becomes more popular it could get inconvienent. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
