Well, after another try to sort this I come to the conclusion that Solaris is
very picky about the discs. The CDRW's I use are Nashua and Verbatim. DVD-RW
from Philips are accepted though. The strangest thing is, when I insert a CDRW
in my DVD-ROM drive Solaris' Volumemanager thinks it must be formatted. This
behavior is wrong in my opinion. To make things clear I include a log a typical
session.

Now, don't you think this is odd behavior ?
