invalid mounting option.

[Mac_Attack18]

I have some files on a dvd which i want to put onto Linux the dvd drive is removable and i take it out a lot for my extra battery. It refuses to read a lot of disks i made. I have a Win 7 install disk that it reads fine but a lot of the disks i burn with Vista it won't read it says invalid mounting option. I just put the drive back in and ubuntu completely locked up. it finally unfroze and said invalid mounting option when trying to mount UDF volume. how do i fix this?

P.S. i am using the standard cd/dvd format not that weird vista format that only can be read by vista and XP.

Sorry mate,

this appears to be a known issues with *nix systems. check out this post. Towards the end there are some links that talk about patching your kernel.

I have a preference for using ISO9660+RockRidge AND UDF together when burning in any environment. It may have certain (and totally reasonable) limitations, but if an environment can't read one file map, it generally can read the other.

You generally don't need UDF anyway unless you're making a specific format DVD that requires it (video) or you are burning files that exceed 1GB in size (the iso9660 size limitation). Also the UDF standard keeps evolving. Some libraries in Linux only support the common UDF standard which has a file size limit of 4GB, while the latest ones should support 8TB (to BluRay, and Beyond!).

Anyway, the point is if you make sure you burn with iso9660+rockridge, you should have a universally readable disc.
