I just attempted to write a CDRW using the UDF or Universal Disk Format file system which is built in to FreeBSD and is supported in mkisofs at least to some extent according to the documentation. I wrote two test files to the CD with the following command mkisofs -l -R -udf -q /home/martin/cdroot/ | burncd -q -f /dev/acd0c data - Do you just keep running that command or something similar when there are new files to write to the disk and then run the fixate command in burncd when the disk is as full as you want it to be? I basically thought that is what the documentation said, but when I mounted the CDR on another system, I only saw the first file I wrote and nothing more. In my test, I wrote that first file in the directory called cdroot, did the UDF burn, removed that file and replaced it with another one of different name, did another UDF burn and then fixated it. If it was a CDR, it probably would be a coaster now.:-) Martin McCormick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
