Linux

The aricle says that CDFS is a virtual linux file system.
First of all, it is not virtual. The cd has its own standard file system.
Second, it is not a linux file system. Majority of the CDs have the cdfs file system in it and can be read by unix, linux, mac os x, and windows.

I think you better make a correction. Unsigned comment by 61.3.237.16 at 12:17, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

The name of that file system would be ISO 9660. "cdfs" just happens to be the name of the ISO 9660 file system driver on many operating systems. The Linux "cdfs" driver is described here because it's notably different. —Ghakko 12:49, 1 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And in my experience, an RW disc with the CDFS file system becomes unusable after a relatively few uses adding files to the disc (at least it did when I used the CD Wizard built into Windoows XP SP1). --John R. Sellers 03:15, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

i agree on any suggestions, comments, corrections because i dont see anything wrong, i would like to note that there should be a link to the linux documentation project which has its own well documented referals mostly compliant with the gnu gpl license e.g. http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Filesystems-HOWTO.html Unsigned comment by 84.245.166.18 at 01:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

The report is listed as unconfirmed, but in fact I know it to be true since it actually happened to me... it is only unconfirmed in the matter that no one else has tried it yet. also there are possibilities that some other program affected the disk so I am asking for multiple confirmation from the Wiki community... :) Unsigned comment by 24.148.6.235 at 01:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

There seems to be a whole lot of confusion here. There is no such a thing as a standard CD filesystem named CDFS. Data tracks on compact discs are specified in the Yellow Book. Those data tracks almost always contain an ISO 9660, UDF or HFS file system. Many operating systems have drivers for mounting ISO 9660. Some of those drivers happen to be named CDFS, as on Windows, Digital Unix/Tru64, some variants of BSD and BeOS. On Linux, however, "CDFS" refers to something completely different, hence the article.

I hope that clarifies things.
