I'm almost afraid to mention ATAPI and CD-writer in the same sentence. An *extensive* search leads me to believe that FreeBSD and ATAPI writers are not friends at the moment - hopefully that will change soon. The common concensus (unanimous?) is that the burndata and burnaudio scripts in /usr/share/examples/atapi are the way to go for now. I've tried them, and they both work for me (quite nicely, actually). But only for writing single-session CDs. Has anybody used them for writing multisession CDs? Had any luck? When I try to write to a CD which has already had a session written to it, the dd command in the script fails with dd: /dev/racd0c: Input/output error The first session of the disk was fixated with the onp option, and my writer does support multisession (HP 8100). While I'm asking, does anybody know how one would extract the multisession information from a CD which has already had sessions written to it? The commonly-cited suggestion "cdrecord -msinfo" is not appropriate in this case, since the writer is not (and does not act like) SCSI. By the way, I'm running 3.2-RELEASE.
