Alfred, 

Thanks for the reply.  

I have been writing critical files (like the Tripwire database) to CD-R using
an NT-based system. As file operations change, the Tripwire report grows and I
update the database about every month, burning it to CD again.  A little
easier than setting the immutable bit and rebooting to swap in the new file. 

I can read these multiple write CD-Rs in both Win and Linux systems.

However, when I try to mount these using 'mount /cdrom' (which works fine for
factory CDs), the mount fails.

The only way I can only read CD-Rs on my FreeBSD system with the command 

mount_cd9660 -s 0 /dev/cd0c /cdrom

This successfully mounts the CD-R, but unfortunately mounts only the FAT from
the first write.  It appears that FreeBSD becomes confused on how to find the
most recent start sector. 

I would certainly appreciate any insight into how to find the correct start
sector. 

Thanks,
