Hi,

Rockridge is supported in iso9660. However, the image file has three
namespaces, iso9660, joliet and rockridge. Currently, the priority is:

joliet > rockridge > iso9660

So only files in joliet is showed.

It's possible to change priority, but what if we need to access files
in the other namespace ? Perhaps we can control it with variables, for
example: disable_joliet, disable_rockridge, etc.
