GNOME concatenates ISO-9660 and VFAT volume names
Last modified: 2012-07-31 20:06:45 UTC
GNOME volume management concatenates names of removable ISO-9660 volume names to 16 characters, both for desktop icons and /media/ directory name. If the name is shorter than 16 characters, then it fills volume name with spaces to 16 characters. It is a regression to previous version, where it worked without problems. How to reproduce: Burn a DVDs with names "My photo DVD volume 1", "My photo DVD volume 2" and "My photos", then insert them to drive. You will see first two as "My photo DVD vol" and "My photo DVD vol_" for the medium that was inserted as second, and the third as "My photos ". isoinfo -d -i /dev/sr0 shows the name correctly
Very similar problem also affects VFAT volumes: volume names are concatenated to 11 characters and are uppercased.
And just another surprise: Comparing VFAT medium written on Milestone 1 and Milestone 4, mtime written by Milestone 4 is higher by exactly two hours. My GMT offset is plus 2 hours from UTC.
Sorry, this bug did not get the attention it deserved. Not likely, you have already upgraded to newer versions of openSUSE, which had a lot more bug fixes. As openSUSE 11.2 is no longer maintained (for a long time already) and I can't seem to reproduce anything similar in openSUSE 12.1 / 12.2 RC, I close the bug as 'FIXED'. Should you be able to reproduce this issue on a newer openSUSE version, please feel to report it again.
