[Fedora-livecd-list] Storing the image as UDF not IS9660

[Asheesh Laroia]

In adding the data I wanted to the Live CD, I quickly ran into the 
filename length limitation of ISO9660/Joliet.  If I'm willing to break the 
Joliet standard, I can get files of length 102 on the disc.  Normally the 
standard lets me use 64-character filenames.

Meanwhile, as I understand things, UDF is the normal filesystem for DVDs, 
is pretty widely-supported, and supports 255-character-long paths, perhaps 
longer <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_file_systems>.  It 
would even work for CDs; it's not as if you'd have to stop supporting 
generating CDs.  Right now, you generate DVDs as large CDs; using UDF 
would let you generate CDs as if they were small DVDs.  (Both work on 
most OSs, and besides, You would just switch to

Have you guys thought about making livecd-creator output UDF-format 
filesystems rather than the limited ISO9660?
