Hi Harmen, It is possible to use CDRW/DVDRW media on Solaris. More than likely you've encountered a specific issue on your system that is causing some difficulties, or there is a problem with the media you're trying to use. Please remember that you are running an "unsupported" pre-release version of Solaris. In addition, to further help you, we need some information as to what hardware is present in your system and how you're trying to mount the device whenever you receive an error.
