Try passing the -t iso9660 option to mount or (if that doesn't work) you
could go so far as to removing the UDF support from the kernel.

Quoted 7 lines · Wakko Warner

I'm trying out 2.6 on one of my test boxes with an IDE dvd drive. I'm using ide-scsi (I prefer scdx as opposed to hdx). I noticed that any attempt to mount a DVD movie (lord of the rings comes to mind) it mounts as UDF. My laptop mounts this same dvd as iso9660.

I've also been unable to play DVDs on this machine, but I don't have the same packages installed as I do on my laptop.

If iso9660 looks enough like UDF to confuse the f/s typing logic, would the problem go away if the iso9660 were checked first? It seems iso9660 can be mistaken for UDF, is the converse true?

In any case it can be set explicitly.

Good point, but I hope that if that is the case it would work as either, and the UDF mount would have worked. Perhaps that also would have worked with a bit of option support.
