--Sig_/BbDkwuMZA+qIhBss_tBEJ53 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I've been using cdrtools-devel as part of my backup-to-DVD scheme for a number of years. I switched from using cdrtools to cdrtools-devel due to a problem with DMA alignment which was fixed in cdrtools-devel. My regime consists of performing a full backup on a Sunday and differential backups against it on subsequent days (I use dar to create the backups). The full backup session is created with "growisofs -Z" and the differential backup sessions with "growisofs -M". growisofs is a dvd+rw-tools program th= at serves as a high-level interface to cdrtools' mkisofs. This setup has been working fine until cdrtools-devel-2.01.01a65 where the second and later sessions (the differential backups) started to fail with an error to the effect that the DVD doesn't contain an ISO fs. This seems a bogus error because the initial session has been written to the DVD correct= ly and it most certainly is an ISO fs. For now, I've been able to downgrade to cdrtools and multi-session appears = to work fine there. My concern is that cdrtools is nearing a new stable release and this errant behaviour I've experienced could find its way into the comi= ng release. Has anyone else experienced multi-session write failures with recent builds of cdrtools-devel (a65 and later)? I would like some confirmation before I progress any bug report towards Schilly.
