My system uses UTF-8 almost everywhere and I'd like to use it in
filenames, too, both in hard drive and in optical media. Unfortunately
it seems genisoimage do not support UTF-8 very well. Latest versions of
mkisofs have good UTF-8-support, but I am very aware of its licensing
problems and that's all about that. So, please fix that genisoimage.


Meanwhile, what should I do? If I stick with Joliet and stop using Rock
Ridge -extensions, is it very big loss? Sometimes I think Rock Ridge is
useful only when creating installation media for operating system
-distribution. Does xorriso support UTF-8 very well? Any other
workarounds I can use?

I have also considered using packet writing and UDF. If I do so, can I
finalize that disc with this command, after I have filled it with packet
writing and un-mounted it?:

growisofs -M /dev/hdb=/dev/zero
