Site News :: DSL 4.2.1

udf was not recently cut from 4.x as it was never created for 2.4.31 kernel and therefore never in any 4.x version.

What that tells me, is that udf was not part of the kernel source tree. udf was/is likely an other sourced module.

I can mount my data dvd fine. But then it was created by DSL and the Tk/DVD extension.

What is your source for such a format?

Initially I tried

Code Sample

mount /dev/cdrom

then I booted DSL 3.3 and found in its /etc/mtab something like:

Code Sample

/dev/cdrom udf ro,nosuid,user=dsl /mnt/mountpoint

then I tried in DSL 4.2.1

Code Sample

mount -t udf /dev/cdrom

the system returned the same error.
This DVD was written under Win32 OS.

Do I need to get tkdvd.dsl to read it?
Could you please type mount command and options which should be used under DSL 4.2.1 to read UDF/DVD?

You didn't mount that dvd like that in 3.3, either, because your command is incomplete. You need a mount point (directory/file) where you can mount the device (/dev is device, not mount point). Copy your fstab here and see if and where it configured a mount point.

Edit: If you already have the "/mnt/mountpoint" entry in fstab, you could mount it at:
mount /mnt/mountpoint

If not, then the manual mount command would be:
mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/mountpoint

Where mount point is whichever mountpoint you set up there (if one wasn't made by script).

According to this security report and the changelog for 2.4.13 UDF is part of the kernel sources, and has been for a while...

(those two came first up from google)

I used the following mount commands in DSL 3.3:

Code Sample

sudo mount /dev/cdrom
sudo mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/auto/cdrom

Both commands mount UDF filesystem in DSL 3.3 successfully

I still need help in mounting DVD with UDF filesystem in DSL 4.2.1. I see file udf.o in fs-modules.lst
Should I have fs-modules installed to get UDF support in DSL 4.2.1?
