All the files in session 1 are present in session 2, plus some extras. Same for session 3, and so on. Normally I can read them in my FreeBSD boxes without difficulty: the last session is visible to FreeBSD, and contains all the files. But now I've found a completely unreadable one. # mount /cdrom cd9660: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument # This CD has two sessions. But, unlike other CDs, when I examine it with cdcontrol, it shows 3 tracks. There is an extra track (of 63 seconds) between the "real" ones. What could be in there? How do I find out? And, lastly, who do I talk to to work out how to make these things mountable? I've verified the CD is not damaged, by successfully reading every file on a Win98 box (actually a dual boot on the self same FreeBSD box that is having trouble reading it). Stephen.
