Hard links are part of the Rock Ridge standard. Did you ever test your hardlinks (on a OS that suppots hard links) for correctness? Just as a note: Linux does not support hard links on ISO-9660. Also please admit that there is no standard for ACLs or xattrs for ISO-9660. What you implement may be a nice toy but it is irrelevent for real world usage. What you implement is your private nonstandard proprietary extension on ISO-9660 that is based on the data structures of a POSIX _draft_ that was withdrawn 10 years ago in 1999 and thus never was a standard. It is not complatible to the ACL and xattr standard that is implemented on many recent OS and that is described here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3530.txt See page 50 ff and page 178. > Novelties: > > * New option -md5, new -as mkisofs option --md5 allow to record in the image > MD5 checksums for the whole session and for each single data file. Mkisofs does not have a -md5 option. In case that mkisofs will eventually add a -md5 option, I cannot grant that this option will be compatible to what you implement.....
