Multi-session CDs have some rudimentary support, but probably not what you want. Right now, the entire written data area of the CD is made available as /dev/[r]cd0a. Thus you also notice the correct `df' value. However, the cd9660 code simply doesn't know anything about TOCs and such, so it only reads the very first track, and thus ignores the data of the following tracks (and sessions). If you send me the CD, i promise to get support for this ready within less than 4...6 weeks. The ioctls to do this are already in place, only the hooks into the cd9660 code still need to be done. (Sorry for not offering a better timeline, but right now, getting 2.2 ready and shipping is the highest priority item, and once this is done, i've already got some other stuff in the queue that has been deferred due to 2.2.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
