Recording multi-session CD on C8000

[Nivel]

I have recorded a 2 session multi-session CD on C8000 (HP-UX 11i version 1), using mkisofs and cdrecord. When I read the resulting CD on a PC, I can see the files from both sessions. However, when I look at the CD on the C8000 (using mount and ls), I can only see the files from the first session. For the application that I'm writing, I need to be able to read files from both sessions on PC and C8000. Any ideas?

Shalom,

Options:
1) upload the files from a PC the C8000 and install from available disk.
2) Find the mount options you need for multi-session cd's if supported by the OS.

Solution may be in one of these threads.

have you tried to use the xcdroast , it allows you to burn in multi-session ..., maybe is a software issue.

Hope this helps,

Multi-session CDROMs simply won't work on HP-UX. The cdfs code is far too primitive to handle this format. The cdfs code was only recently changed to handle certain Rock Ridge formats but will not handle Joliet (common to PCs) and many other CD formats. mkisofs and cdrecord are excellent tools to create a wide variety of formats but there is no replacement for the cdfs subsystem. You'll have to record everything in a single session for use on HP-UX.

Right. I'll give up on Multisession CDs under HP-UX then. The recommended patches are already installed on my HP-UX.
