Hi,

interesting...I used last weekend to write the same, but then found the
geom_label classes which do support iso9660. The geom_label class for
iso9660 does not use the isofs/cd9660/iso.h header file, but other than
that it works perfectly( \ ata does not (re-)create geoms if the cd is
changed...but that shouldn't be a problem for freesbie :D)

The high-sierra part could be added to geom_label.

But, the really important question is: why is there geom_vol_ffs and
geom_label? Apparently I wasn't the only one who did not see
geom_label :)

Best regards,
