Writing multi-session CDs using cdrecord

Michael D'Aulerio — Fri, 05 Nov 2004 15:03:37 GMT

I'm using the cdrecord package on an HP-UX 10.20 system to write CDs and its working very well. However, when I try to create multi-session CDs I run into problems.

I create a ISO9660 image with RockRidge externsions and write the image to a CD. I then create a 2nd image and write that to the CD.

When I take same CD to a Windows or Linux box I can see all of the files from all of the sessions.

When I mount the CD under HP-UX I can see the files from the first session but I don't see any of the files from the 2nd or subsequent session.

Anybody out there have any experience writing multi-session CDs under HP-UX?

Thanks.

Mike D'.

10.20 is so very old that it has no multi-session capability. I assume that you have been using PFS to mount the CD's so you'll have RockRidge support (man pfs). Now I don't believe that the RockRidge standard defined multi-session CDs but since 10.20 has not been supported for a long time, there isn't a workaround.

Bill,

Sorry it took me so long to assign points. You are right. There is no way to get multi-session support for CDs for 10.20. Thanks for the help.
