How can I see the Windows attributes on optical discs?

Examples:

* Hidden.
* Read-Only.
* System file.

The ACL tools on Linux still do not display the hidden attribute for instance.

These filesystems neither support ACLs nor Windows file attributes.

Readonly is a standard filesystem "attribute" that is used on UNIX before DOS existed...

"hidden" is the only windows file attribute that is supported by the filesystems named by you.

Since UNIX does not know a "hidden" file attributes but rather hides files that have a name starting with a dot, a "hidden" attribute on files cannot be honored on UNIX.

This applies to the UNIX filesystem "ZFS" as well. ZFS supports Windows file attributes only for the SMB exports to Windows clients.

If you like to check which files on a ISO-9660 filesystem have the hidden attribute set, use the UNIX program isoinfo on the filesystem image.

Call:

isoinfo -i filesystem.iso -l

and check the numbers directly before the ]. If this number is odd, the hidden attribute is set on a file.
