I wrote a couple of trial cdrecord sessions using -dummy. I then executed a third, real cdrecord session. It failed (fortunately, before writing anything to the disk), complaining that "insufficient space left on media". I then executed a cdcontrol info, which reported that two previous sessions were already recorded to the disk. In actual fact, the disk was still blank; this I confirmed by shutting down and rebooting, then successfully writing to the cdr. So, there is some sort of caching going on that mistakenly thinks a -dummy write is a real write. Might this not cause trouble? Best regards -- Larry S.
