Yes, that's why I say it is my fault but also a bug in the Linux docs. As someone who does not know all the details of the ISO9660 standard, one would never have thought that the resource fork and the data fork would have the same name and therefore the resource fork would make the data fork invisible. Certainly the user (myself) made a stupid choice, and the choice is made because the documentation did not make it clear that the option is unsafe. In fact, I did read all of the mount and mkisofs man pages, and still made this stupid choice, perhaps it is not unreasonable to say that the docs *are* unclear. I did submit a bug report; the man page should mention this in the future...
