Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-Mailer: Mutt 0.81 Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I started this out on -questions, then tried -hardware, but no responses. I'm trying to get an idea of how the whole CD-R procedure works on a general level. Say I'm using one of the supported CD-R drives and I wanted to archive logs. Are the CD-Rs multisession? That is, can I write a set of files to the CD-R today, and then write another set tomorrow? Am I correct in concluding that the cdrecord program is for making copies of existing CDs and so cannot be used for archiving files as described above?
