Hello Jörg, Thank you for responding! I would be happy to use cdrtools for writing, if I could figure out how. I tried, Lord how I tried. Unfortunately, I am having less success using mkisofs and cdrecord to make a multisession DVD than I had with growisofs. I read your howto here: http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/man/README/README.multi Using this, I figured that I make the initial iso (raw) image with this command: mkisofs -R -o /tmp/file.raw file1file1file1_REDHAT.txt file2file2file2_REDHAT.txt file3file3file3_REDHAT.txt So far, so good. I write the file with: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 -multi /tmp/file.raw So far, so good. Let's try to mount that baby: mount /dev/sr0 /media/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type Fine. Try it with the filesystem type: mount -o ro -t iso9660 /dev/sr0 /media/ mount: no medium found on /dev/sr0 Okay, that's not the end of the world. I would like to be able to mount it, but what I REALLY want to do is write a second session. Let's try the msinfo to get the data for the second session: cdrecord -msinfo dev=2,0,0 cdrecord: Warning: Cannot read drive buffer. cdrecord: Warning: The DMA speed test has been skipped. 0,93952 Great! Let's try a mkisofs now: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/sr0 -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Input/output error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x00 (medium not present) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid) cmd finished after 0.002s timeout 20s mkisofs: Success. Unable to open previous session image '/dev/sr0'. There's no file.raw, so that's an odd definition of "success." Let's try it with /dev/dvd: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/dvd -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Short read on old image Fine. Let's try it with dev=2,0,0: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M dev=2,0,0 -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale. mkisofs: Invalid argument. Invalid bus or target specifier in 'dev=2,0,0'. Cannot open SCSI driver. mkisofs: Invalid argument. Unable to open previous session image 'dev=2,0,0'. Clearly that is not how I specify the device. I cannot write the second session, and am dead in the water. Just for the sake of completeness, I will reload the tray. After ejecting and re-inserting the media, I can now mount it, but only by specifying the filesystem type. After trying several variations on writing a new rawfile, I got this: mkisofs -R -C 0,93952 -M /dev/dvd -o /tmp/file.raw file4file4file4_REDHAT.txt file5file5file5_REDHAT.txt file6file6file6_REDHAT.txt Setting input-charset to 'UTF-8' from locale.

Let's write the new rawfile to the disk: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0,0 -multi /tmp/file.raw cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Assuming -tao mode. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.

I believe cdrecord must work at least as well as growisofs -- i.e., I should be able to write a second session to the disk, if only after reloading the tray -- so I must be doing something wrong. But I can't for the life of me figure out what. Thanks again for your help! If I AM doing something wrong, I would love to know.

On this system, we would perform backups of certain log files every day to DVD.

I don't think there's anything special about Red Hat, as I was able to duplicate the problem on Slackware 14.1, but that's the system we are trying to work with. Since I'd heard about troubles with the 'genisoimage' program that ships with Red Hat (and Debian, and Ubuntu), I went ahead and downloaded a cdrtools RPM from this helpful fellow: > http://negativo17.org/cdrtools/ > and I also removed the 'fake' cdrtools that comes with Red Hat, just to be safe.

Unlike growisofs, cdrtools is actively maintained. If you have problems with cdrtools, this can be fixed.... You would need to send a bug report - I am not aware of problems in the recent version.
