Happy birthday! You are one year old!

A bug as important as this! UDF is becoming standard, when will it be
fixed? When people starts claiming at Slashdot that Ubuntu can not read
ordinary DVDs? There were at least two Ubuntu releases with this bug.

Lets get practical. mount must support the filesystem1,filesystem2
syntax both at command line and at /etc/fstab. Both manuals must also be
updated. Also, its options should not conflict, allowing one to set up
the udf / iso for CD / DVD, and specific options to the iso filesystem
and udf filesystem. If mount already supports it, then it is buggy and
should get fixed.

The auto solution may lead to unexpected results, because one can write
any sort of filesystem on a DVD, and this auto option will accept it.
May even be a security risk, depending on the configuration the system
has (may be SUID binaries, I am not sure). I always saw filesystems
explicitly configured for removable media and sure this has a motive.
This CD / DVD issue should be no exception. Or, rethink it and se all
removable media to auo filesystem at one and avoid future problems.

This really should get attention and get a solution before next release.
