How do I mount a cdrom to have another uid (improperly mastered
CDs have certain files owned and only readable by root,
I want to read them by myself.

I tried

mount -o uid=100 -t iso9660 <>

but this didn't effect anything (although it appears to be a valid mount option).

Also the unhide option isn't documented.

Should there be an explanation in Documentation/filesystems?
