With pleasure (I remember all too well the pain of banging my head against a wall, trying to understand optical disk burning/verification under linux). I've also found a much simpler method for checking that any padding is blank which doesn't require split - just get dd to skip over the correct amount of data): dd if=<isoFile> bs=2048 skip=<volumeSize> 2> /dev/null | hexdump If the padding really is blank/zeroes/null, the line above should only produce the following output: 0000000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 * xxxxxxx (where xxxxxxx is the length of the padding, in hex) I really should stick all this up (with a more thorough explanation) on a webpage somewhere...
