Hello Jörg, Thank you for responding! I would be happy to use cdrtools for writing, if I could figure out how. I tried, Lord how I tried. Unfortunately, I am having less success using mkisofs and cdrecord to make a multisession DVD than I had with growisofs.
I read your howto here: http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/man/README/README.multi Using this, I figured that I make the initial iso (raw) image with this command: mkisofs -R -o /tmp/file.raw file1file1file1_REDHAT.txt file2file2file2_REDHAT.txt file3file3file3_REDHAT.txt So far, so good. I write the file with: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -multi /tmp/file.raw So far, so good. Let's try to mount that baby: mount /dev/sr0 /media/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type Fine. Try it with the filesystem type: mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/ mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 Okay, that's not the end of the world. I would like to be able to mount it, but what I REALLY want to do is write a second session. Let's try the msinfo to get the data for the second session: cdrecord -msinfo dev=2,0,0 cdrecord: Warning: Cannot read drive buffer. cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped. 0,93952 Great! Let's try a mkisofs now: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/sr0 -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.002s timeout 20s mkisofs: Success. Unable to open previous session image '/dev/sr0'. There's no file.raw, so that's an odd definition of "success." Let's try it with /dev/dvd: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/dvd -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Short read on old image Fine. Let's try it with dev=2,0,0: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M dev=2,0,0 -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Invalid argument. Invalid bus or target specifier in 'dev=2,0,0'. Cannot open SCSI driver. mkisofs: Invalid argument. Unable to open previous session image 'dev=2,0,0'. Clearly that is not how I specify the device. I cannot write the second session, and am dead in the water. Just for the sake of completeness, I will reload the tray. After ejecting and re-inserting the media, I can now mount it, but only by specifying the filesystem type. After trying several variations on writing a new rawfile, I got this: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/dvd -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. ISO-9660 image includes checksum signature for correct inode numbers.

Let's write the new rawfile to the disk: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0,0 -multi /tmp/file.raw cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Assuming -tao mode. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.

I believe cdrecord must work at least as well as growisofs -- i.e., I should be able to write a second session to the disk, if only after reloading the tray -- so I must be doing something wrong. But I can't for the life of me figure out what. Thanks again for your help! If I AM doing something wrong, I would love to know. If not, please enjoy Tigger, who needs a bath but does not want one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM5BCjNswd0 -Eric J.

Unlike growisofs, cdrtools is actively maintained. If you have problems with cdrtools, this can be fixed.... You would need to send a bug report - I am not aware of problems in the recent version.
