While I think what you describe should work I think the -m and fixate are contradicting each other for a single pass burn. Once you fixate you can not append to the media yet the -m is preparing for a future append eventually followed by fixate. > Attempting to mount a cd after writing it has caused page faults and > subsequent reboots on all three attempts now. Every now and then when somebody pipes up, "I want a project!" I suggest a userland super error checked removable media daemon. One that won't break on broken media. One that could easily control who and what was mounted. Either replace the existing iso9660 code with something slow and error checked for saftey, or override it in the external daemon. Something like mediad on SGI Irix. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
