Same thing. :( It's one of the things I tried, even as root. If I try 
mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom then it returns an error saying that 
UDF isn't a supported filesystem (of course, I'd imaging that cdrom points 
to scd0 so it should work but I never looked at that yet.

Rock Ridge. I know for sure because I didn't recompile the kernel with 
M$ Joliet support so I know that isn't available on the system, as far as 
I can tell.

I think the CD is toast. :( It's sad. My boyfriend is rather disappointed 
but not mad at me (he doesn't get mad, lucky me. :) I'll just have to wait 
for another double rainbow... :/ It occurred last month after a clap of 
thunder and it was just a brilliant rainbow. We were later looking at the 
pictures and saw that there were actually TWO rainbows. Incredible image. 
I do have a print photo of another time there was a double rainbow, 
though, a few years ago.

But it bugs me... the data is there, but it's not. If I open the tarball 
with the photos in it, and go to the photo in the archive, I only can see 
one of the several images I had archived. This is what makes me think the 
CD was bad or burned wrong somehow.
