CDROM is the default volume id of mkisofs. -V volly should have overridden that. volname works for me. Own backup formatted by xorriso: $ volname /dev/sr2 UPDATE_HOME_2008_12_09_115802 Debian CD formatted by mkisofs $ volname /dev/sr2 Debian 4.0 r0 M-A 1 Now mkisofs under control of growisofs: $ growisofs -Z /dev/sr2 -R -J -V volly /test/test ... /dev/sr2: reloading tray $ volname /dev/sr2 volly So your growisofs command seems ok. One can get the volume id from xorriso too: $ xorriso -indev /dev/sr2 2>&1 | grep '^Volume id' Volume id : 'volly' just to make sure that the local volname has not gone bad in some way. Or make an attempt with vanilla tools: $ dd bs=1 skip=32808 count=32 if=/dev/sr2 | strings volly (ECMA-119 8.4.6 Volume Identifier (BP 41 to 72) under the assumption that the PVD is at LBA 16.) Was the media ejected and reloaded after writing ? If not, and if the media held an ISO image before then the Linux block device drive might have some old media content cached.
