Hi All,

I am confused. :'(

I am using the cdrecord option "sao". In "man cdrecord", I
have the following example:

To handle drives that need to know the size of a

What makes you think that your drive needs to know? I suspect that you are
just making trouble for yourself.

track before starting to write, first run

mkisofs -R -q -print-size /master/tree

and then run

mkisofs -R /master/tree | cdrecord speed=2 dev=2,0 tsize=XXXs

This is where I get confused. In the example above, it looks like
"/master/tree" is the source directory to create the ISO. If
I run that on my source directory:

/usr/bin/mkisofs -R -quiet -print-size \
/home/KasRescue/Foo/.

And why would you ignore the suggestions and use
/home/KasRescue/Foo/. rather than the suggested /home/KasRescue/Foo
?

And what kind of directory IS /home/KasRescue/Foo/./..?





I get back the followign error message and number:

Unknown file type (unallocated)
home/KasRescue/Foo/./..
- ignoring and continuing.
119247

If I run the command on the ISO I just created with mkisofs:

/usr/bin/mkisofs -R -quiet -print-size \
/home/KasRescue/Foo.iso

I get back a different number AND NO ERROR MESSAGE
119309

Yes. you are now asking the system to create and iso containing the iso you
just created. Why you would want to do that I do not know, but that iso
WILL contain additional information not the original directory system.

Anyway, who are you doing all this?


What am I misunderstanding?

Many thanks,
