RE: Hang Mounting HFS CDROM with 2.4.3 final kernel

gwiz% hpmount /dev/cdrom
(null): /dev/cdrom: Neither Wrapper nor native HFS+ volume
header found (Unknown error 4294967295)

Can you create an image from the disk (with dd) and does it show the
same problems ? (Id like to get that image, but I fear it may be to
large for a reasonable download/test. I only have an iBook :/ )

Thanks for the tip.  Mounting the disk image works fine.  For the
benefit of others that might encounter this problem and search the
archives, the necessary commands are:

	dd if=/dev/cdrom of=cdrom.image
	mount -t hfs cdrom.image /mnt -o loop

Mmh, so reading via fopen() etc. on /dev/cdrom etc. works different than
on disk. This looks like a problem with the driver, so it may not be
the (direct) fault of the hfs kernel driver.

This is using the built-in DVD ROM drive on a dual G4 (but only
running a UP kernel).  I can mount an HFS disk without any problem.

Can someone comment on the status in this Driver. Is there something
new/different there ?
