Title:
libcdio should be 0.92
Status in “libcdio” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Description of problem:
Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, libcdio from 0.83 to
0.90 it cannot read Linux .iso files that use Rock Ridge for file name
encoding.
With libcdio up to 0.90 iso-read gives bad results for .iso files >
4GB. Relevant to virtualization / devops / automation, some Linux
distro images are that large.
Steps to reproduce problem:
1. From bug report https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?39373 get
most recent file iso-read-test.sh at
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=30554
2. Run that file either plain or with a single parameter 5000, such as
./iso-read-test.sh
./iso-read-test.sh 5000
3. At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT" where you should
see nothing but "read back OK".
Actual results:
At the end of output see a lot of "read DEFECT".
Expected results:
You should see nothing but "read back OK".
Additional info:
There were more than one problems in libcdio 0.90, not just the 4G
limit. E.g. Rock Ridge support (often needed for Linux) wasn't
compiled in by default.
libcdio 0.92 fixes a lot of problems, and has been out for several
months, and has been working well so far.
Relevant fixes cannot be isolated for patching 0.83.
There also is a discussion in docs files at
https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander/blob/master/docs/which-
version-iso-read.txt
One example use at https://github.com/srguiwiz/nrvr-commander but this
affects any attempt to make virtual machines from distro image .iso
files as plain user.
An Ubuntu LTS should release with a healthy libcdio 0.92.
