File name formats on CD and solaris 8

[majkmushrm]

I have a Blade 100 running solaris 8. I burnt a CD on a windows box with a bunch of files on it that are of the form xyz.c.1 (.2, .3, &etc). When I read the CD on the blade, it reads them as xyzc.1 (&etc). Does anybody know why the intermediate dot vanished in the solaris read and what I need to reconfigure to get it to read correctly?

When recording/burning a CD with windows it uses the DOS 8.3 format. You will need to change your settings on the burner to use the ISO9660 Filesystem.

The CD was burnt using Nero with the following settings: ISO level 2 (31 characters), ISO 9660, Joliet, mode 2/XA. These are the settings I use to burn CDs that are read by a Motorola power pc running AIX 4.1.4 and it reads them fine. If you leave the ISO setting @ 8 dot 3 you get tildas, not vanishing dots.

What mount options did you use on the Sun blade? Perhaps try mount -F hsfs /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /mnt using the appropriate device name of course.
