The Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (RRIP, IEEE P1282) is an extension to the ISO 9660 volume format which adds POSIX File System semantics.

The extension adds support for storing Unix -specific file information on ISO 9660 CD-ROMs. The availability of this information allows for better integration with a local Unix Filesystem when a mount operation is performed (also see Mount Point ).

These extensions are, briefly:

  • Longer file names (up to 255 characters)

  • Fewer restrictions on characters allowed in filenames

  • UNIX-style File Mode s, User Id s and group ids

  • Symbolic Link s

  • Deeper directory hierarchy



FACTS
