Hi, I'm wondering if the problem is the iso9660 file system that K3B put onto the disc? I seriously doubt. At least dd should have no scruples to overwrite any filesystem. The block device driver has no idea of filesystems. The only connection would be open(2) flag O_EXCL. mount uses it to

Hi, I did another test using system rescue cd. While it gives me the same error when I run dvd+rw-format, I note that mkudffs complains about multiple extents. I don't know why it gives a different message under system rescue cd than under Debian/Wheezy but I thought it might be a clue as to
