Re: OT: How to get the burn date of an CD-R ??

[Chris Bayley]

The iso was gone but I did find the download in my squid logs so the 
mystery was solved.

Thanks for the advices all.

How does one determine the date a CD-R was burned from an iso?
     

 

You can't tell from the cd, but you can infer it from the access time 
attribute attached to the file from which it came by using the stat utilty.
   

Assuming that the CD was originally burnt from that ISO file, *and* you
haven't read the ISO since, yes. ls -u gives you the same answer.
Assuming the ISO file in question was created from the CD, the answer
is tough luck. One could try to deduce a lower limit by looking at the
time stamps of the files on the CD.
