One machine is mounting as iso9660; the other is mounting as UDF. The one mounting as UDF is more correct. This won't make a difference to dd (since it operates below the file system) but would affect cp, ll, or any other program that required the drive to be mounted. I used to rip DVDs and CDs using dd w/ conv=noerror. I find I actually get better results with a tool designed to read CDs specifically. I don't know if it is because they better moderate the speed of the drive, or if they are simply cognizant of the error correction bits on the disk, but I'll never go back to reading CDs or DVDs with dd again. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
