growisofs: DVD multisession burning

[Thayanidhi]

Hi,
I have Rx4640 with hp-ux 11.23
I have installed latest DVD tools.
When I try to create multisession DVD, I can't see the newly added files in the DVD after mounting.
===
For the first time I use
growisofs -Z /dev/..... file/=/myfiles

This is OK, I could see everything.
When I burn the same DVD again with -M option,

growisofs -M /dev/..... newfile=/mynewfiles

The burning process is succusful, but after mounting I can see only the initial session.

Is it supported under hp-ux?
Any other syntax issue?

Thanks in advance

T.Thayanidhi

Shalom,

This may be a media issue. What kind of media are you using? RW+ ?? Thats the only media 4.x GB that is supported on standard HP DvD-writers for Itanium and PA-RISC.

Hi Thayanidhi,

As SEP mentioned, which media you used ? Also, which format you burn ? Is it ISO9660 or something else ?

Also, try with # growisofs -M /dev/.. -R -J /more/files

Hi,
I am using DVD+R media.
I could see all the files from a PC (windowsXP). In hp-ux I can see only first session.

mount -F cdfs -o rr,cdcase /dev/.. /dvd

Is the above command is OK?

Hi Thayanidhi,

It looks ok to me. Check Procura's FAQ

My CD-ROM doesn't show what I expect

It can be an Oracle CD-ROM, or a CD created on Windows, or whereever they used Rock Ridge extensions. Long names are truncated or show upper case only. Oracle tells you to use pfs_mount.

Do not use pfs_mount!. Install the Rock-Ridge extension patches instead and never worry about these problems. For HP-UX 11.00 you will need forget all about PFS and install PHKL_26448 (now superceded by PHKL_28060), PHCO_26449, and PHKL_26450 to have HP-UX recognize those file systems automatically on mount! For HP-UX 11.11 (11i) you need PHCO_25841, PHKL_26269, and PHKL_25760 (now superceded by PHKL_32035).

No need thereafter to use -o cdfs to mount anymore, provided you enter the CD drive in /etc/fstab like this:

/dev/cd0 /cdrom cdfs ro,rr,noauto 0 0
