Hmm. I am a bit slow, but just looked at this image.
It looks fine in iso9660 style, provided you give the
nojoliet option. I get:
# mount DeLorme_TopoUSA_DVD.head /mnt -t iso9660 -o loop,nojoliet
# ls -l /mnt
total 12
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Feb 28 2001 .
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 4096 Jan 3 02:11 ..
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2763 Feb 28 2001 cd.txt
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 2048 Feb 28 2001 data
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 196 Feb 28 2001 pdataset.txt
and
# mount DeLorme_TopoUSA_DVD.head /mnt -t udf -o loop
# ls -l /mnt
total 14
dr-xr-xr-x 3 4294967295 4294967295 184 Feb 28 2001 .
drwxr-xr-x 31 root root 4096 Jan 3 02:11 ..
-r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 2763 Feb 28 2001 CD.TXT
dr-xr-xr-x 2 4294967295 4294967295 380 Feb 28 2001 DATA
-r--r--r-- 1 4294967295 4294967295 196 Feb 28 2001 PDATASET.TXT
so the iso9660 version looks a bit better than the udf version.
(But I cannot look at the actual contents because the initial
fragment is not large enough. You can check for yourself
whether the nojoliet mount is OK.)
Thus, there do not seem reasons to change mount(2) or mount(8)
in the way you suggested. There is no "empty iso9660 filesystem" here.
