For the sake of completeness I report two (imho quite unobvious) findings with cdrecord: 1. CD-recorders sometimes get confused about the inserted CD's contents. E.g. with a Plextor PX-W4220T and cdrecord 1.8a29 I found that the recorder still "thinks" there is already some space used up after a "cdrecord blank=fast". It also adds to the used-up space after _dummy_ writes. To let the recorder load the correct TOC just eject and reload the media after fastblanking or doing dummy writes. 2. The only difference between fast blanking CD-RWs (clearing the TOC only) and blanking the whole media is when writing multiple sessions. Multiple sessions work by having a pointer to the next session in the session's TOC. If you fastblank a CD-RW and happen to write a session such that it ends just before another session from the previous incarnation of the media this "deleted" session (and all following ones) will show up again.
