Plextor Ultra Plex 40TS and Teac Burner 56S work with multisession in
stock Linux. A DVD reader at work (Linuxsystem too) lately refused to mount a
multisession CD. A stoneage 2x speed in a DecAlpha/OSF4 did though..... I
didn't bother to find out what was the problem with the DVD and if I could
coax it to read the multisession. I especially am not root on that box, so I
couldn't try cdfs.
The cdfs module is available at:
(second link in google on "cdfs linux", as I suggested to find it)
http://www.elis.rug.ac.be/~ronsse/cdfs/
The Infos'n on the webpage suggest it's working in 2.2.X and 2.4.X kernels.
It's somewhat awkward to use (first mount the CD sessions to some place and
then mount the single sessions which show up as files via loopback to access
the files in the iso-filesystems). But it allows to access older sessions
directly, so even if a burn failed in a later session the old sessions will
be accessible again.
