One thing I can think to add if it's not already been done and if its a practical idea for the Google project, would be to update the mount_udf command to support newer versions of UDF. It looks like as of FreeBSD 7 that 1.02 & 1.50 are supported, I( haven't been able to find any more recent documentation to support whether or not updates have been made since then. I only know that server I have running 9.0, for the purpose of hosting ISO images on the network so they are available to our ESX environment for mounting as a local CDROM/DVD within virtual machines, and also available as files over a network share, can't mount the some of the more recent DVDs in the UDF format, but I am unsure which format they are in, they could be 2.0, 2.5, or 2.6. -- Thanks, Dean E.
