I know there are some restrictions on which kernel versions formatdvd will work on. Any chance that's an issue? There are also kernel patches available, in case you have a version which doesn't have needed features. > OK, let's try below: > > > growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/scd0 /some/files > > This worked (I used /dev/hdd). Hmm, I'm surprised hdd worked here. I thought the scsi device node was needed. I could be wrong, but I thought mine failed if I tried a hd? device name here. Either way, after the first use of this command, you should be able to mount the dvd. Also, you can just use this command again to erase/write the same info. It should succeed the second time also. (But I think you'll need to get the format working first.) > > > growisofs -R -J -M /dev/scd0 /other/files > > This also failed: > > [root@gall] /data/follinge/src> ./growisofs -R -J -M /dev/hdd quota-tools/ > :-( unable to pread64(2) primary volume descriptors: Input/output error > > I would be happy just writing once, however, how to mount dvd?
