Hi,
This one is a bit suprising. I have a Windows program that I wanted
to run under Wine. When I installed it the program started working,
but it told me that some input files, called 'kit' files since they
store drum kit info, were corrupted. When I started studying why I
noticed the following:
flash mark $ ls -al /mnt/cdrom/
total 404
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 8192 May 15 2001 .
drwxr-xr-x 8 root root 4096 Aug 28 12:03 ..
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 18432 May 14 2001 60's Garrage samples
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 22 2001 60's Garrage.kit
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 22 2001 60's Garrage.kit
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 20480 May 14 2001 70's Funk samples
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 20 2001 70's Funk.kit
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 20 2001 70's Funk.kit
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 20480 May 14 2001 70's Reggae samples
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 22 2001 70's Reggae.kit
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2606 Feb 22 2001 70's Reggae.kit
Note that each kit file's name is duplicated, and that the size of
both files is identical. This seemed strange, so when I looked at the
CD on a Windows box I see a single file with the same name, but the
file size is different and around 50K. Armed with this info I copied
the files to Windows, wrote a new CD and used this new CD under
Gentoo. Now the program is quite happy, but I'm left with the question
why?
Is this a mount issue? I mount the CD depending the line in my fstab file:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660
user,unhide,noauto,ro 0 0
and then
mount /mnt/cdrom
Has this failed me somehow? If so then how can I fix the problem so
that I don't waste half a day in the future getting to the bottom of
such things????
Thanks,
Mark
