Andy, I know you are more then likely tired of this kind of question but I have tried to use the following commands to get multi-session to work according to the tutorial.
I can get good burns on DVD+RW media from my Sony on Red Hat 8.0 after doing this: Format using dvd+rw-tools (as the tutorial tells us.) Then I do, growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom -R -J /myfirstfolder/mysecondfolder Next I do growisofs -M /dev/cdrom -R -J /mythirdfolder/myfourthfolder However I get :-( mkisofs failed 255 So here is what I know to be right. 1.) I am able to make the first copy with the -Z and I am able to continuously write to the DVD while I am recording from the same path: for example: growisofs -M /dev/cdrom -R -J /myfirstfolder/mysecondfolder/morestuff works after doing growisofs -Z /dev/cdrom -R -J /myfirstfolder/mysecondfolder but growisofs -M /dev/cdrom -R -J /mythirdfolder/myfourthfolder does not work and I get a lot of errors on the rr_remove directory. 2.) On windows systems you have the opportunity to close a disc after you have written as much data as you want. Is this possible using growisofs? The reason I ask is that is we have some older DVD reader drives that can't see the data on the disc while some that are 1 year to 1.5 years old can. 3.) I am strickly trying to take backup ZIP files, and our source code in CVS and record it to DVD. Our database backups are 525 MB each and are stored in zip format. Is there plans to make growisofs span multiple discs? Thanks for your time and effort working on growisofs and answering our questions. Mickey Kamer --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
