Hi,
Today I've upgraded to cdrecord 1.9/mkisofs 1.13 under Solaris 2.7. I am
using cdrecord for archiving weather data. Right after burning the CD, I'm
doing a compare run by mounting the freshly burned CD and comparing file
by file. Only when all files compare o.k., I delete the files from the
harddisk.
Now I thought it might be a good idea to have the CDs also readable
by Windows (with long filenames) and I've also read that specifying
-R and -J together is now possible in mkisofs.
So I've modified my scripts to use it. Much to my surprise, the resulting
CD-ROM cannot be mounted under Solaris 2.7 anymore. Neither in the
CD-Writer drive nor in the standard CD-ROM drive. All I get is an I/O
error. Sometimes Solaris even seems to hang for a short period of time
when trying to mount this CD. The mouse cursor doesn't move anymore and
the harddisks are quiet. I've never seen this before. Apparently the
SCSI bus is reset completely.
However, the CD-ROM can be used under Windows without problems.
When the CD is in the CD-ROM drive, I get this in the syslogs:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ?????????????
The CD-WRITER is a YAMAHA CRW4260.
Any ideas anyone? Is specifying -R along with -J to mkisofs valid
anyway? I think I've read this in the docs of mkisofs for Windows.
Thanks // Tom
