I am trying to do multisession cd-writing. My system is a laptop with a Toshiba DVD/CDRW combo drive, running RH9. I previously was able to use gtoaster for trouble-free multi-session cd writes, but suddenly I cannot! The first write session is fine, but various errors occur on subsequent sessions.
I don't know when the break occurred: after I upgraded from RH8 to RH9, or after I tried using a USB2 DVD+RW (which worked for reading, but not quite for writing in Linux).
Anyway, I tried command line mkisofs and cdrecord to see if it would work instead of gtoaster. On a blank CDRW:
#mkisofs -r -J -f /home/jjstickel/temp/to_burn_symb/ | cdrecord -v -eject -multi speed=4 -
writes and mounts an initial session OK. To write some more, I try:
#cdrecord -v -msinfo ... xx,yy #mkisofs -r -J -f -C xx,yy -M /dev/scd0 /home/jjstickel/temp/to_burn_symb/ | cdrecord -v -eject -multi speed=4 -
seems to write OK; at least the output progress looks good and there are no errors. However, upon remount I can only see what written in the first session (yes, I put something different in the target directory)! Any help out there?
