The "Command & Conquer 3" dvd fails to automount when you insert it,
and is not recognized as a UDF image by /bin/file, but is
recognized as a UDF image by mount.
To reproduce:
insert "Command & Conquer 3" dvd.
Observe that gnome does not automount.
Look in /var/log/messages, notice line like
Jun 27 15:03:13 dank kernel: [ 470.600493] Unable to identify CD-ROM format.
Changing /etc/fstab
from
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
to
/dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf user,noauto 0 0
lets the disc automount ok.
Also, commenting out the /dev/hda line in fstab and then executing
sudo mount /dev/hda /media/cdrom0
works properly with this disc.
So mount (source package util-linux) seems to contain
autodetection code that works properly.
Note also that 'file' fails to autodetect this image:
$ file /home/dkegel/www/ccdvd.bin
/home/dkegel/www/ccdvd.bin: data
whereas it detects similar cd-rom images ok:
$ file /home/dkegel/www/cdrom.bin
/home/dkegel/www/cdrom.bin: ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data
'AUTOCAD_BIBLE '
This is probably a bug in the 'file' command, which uses libmagic to
do its autodetection.
I suspect 'file' or libmagic is used by hal to decide what kind of
disc is being inserted. (But it could also be a kernel bug, I dunno.)
