I checked the vars are well set. The dvd+rw-mediainfo proves the right amount of data was written, anyway. I tried calling growisofs by hand too, smae thing. Works well till end, then I cannot mount the dvd. >> # mount /dev/hdc -t iso9660 /mnt >> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, >> or too many mounted file systems > > Hmm.... again my manpage of mount suggest to put all options first and > *then* only the device and (existing) mountpoint. > > mount [-fnrsvw] [-t vfstype] [-o options] device dir Tried this before too.
