Comment 6 for bug 64383

I was able to reproduce the problem in Intrepid ubuntu-8.10-alternate-amd64. The File Roller does not recognize the UDF filesystem on the MS Vista iso image. It only displays the README text. It is worth noting that Ubuntu mounts the file system correctly and adds an icon labeled UDF volume. The UDF support in Ubuntu is sufficient for applications to mount and explore UDF filesystems.

The isoinfo command was perhaps misleading. It is documented as reading ISO9600 filesystems, no mention of UDF. The command with the -d option states that the vista image does not contain either Joliet nor Rock Ridge extensions. Invoking the command with -R would list the Rock Ridge extension but silently returns as there is none. Invoking the command with -J would list the Joliet extension but issues an error message which may mean a bug in the command or a bad iso. In fact, it's just that the Joliet extension is not there.

Given that the UDF support is present in Ubuntu, it would be appreciated if the File Roller developer make a support statement regarding UDF file system.

Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
