Ok, here I'm testing multi sessions CD-Writing. Anyhow, my CD-Writer doesn't require the -tsize parameter, but I used it anyhow just to see what happens. The way I wrote this image to the CD is I ran the first command for mkisofs with the -print-size parameter as below. mkisofs -J -R -U -V "Multi Session Test" -print-size multitest/ I grabbed the information, and stuck it into the cdrecord -tsize parameter as below. mkisofs -J -R -U -V "Multi Session Test" multitest/ | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -multi speed=2 -fs=6m -tsize=3640s -waiti - Now, I was thinking it would be cool if mkisofs output the 3640, and only the 3640 to stdout rather than stderr. Why you ask? Because, if I want to make some backup scripts, or any other CD-Writing scripts, I might want to do this. mkisofs -J -R -U -V "Multi Session Test" multitest/ | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -multi speed=2 -fs=6m -tsize=`mkisofs -J -R -U -V "Multi Session Test" multitest/`s -waiti - Now I know it's a long line, but who cares when it's in a script right? The ` is on the ~ key, and is not an apostrophe. Doing it this way is much better, and is exactly what the cdrecord does with the -msinfo parameter. Take for instance my line below. mkisofs -J -R -U -V "Multi Session Test 2" -M0,0,0 -C`cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -msinfo` ./multitest2/ | cdrecord dev=0,0,0 -multi speed=2 -fs=6m -tsize=3618s -waiti - Notice the -C parameter has a cdrecord command in it with the -msinfo. The -msinfo data comes out to stdout, and not stderr so I'm able to put the ` around the cdrecord command which replaces the cdrecord command with it's output only. I'm hoping to get the Author's reply on this. p.s. It might be nice to have the multi-session example below in the man pages of mkisofs and/or cdrecord.
