Harmen stated: < 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.
Yes, this can be annoying. I get this every time I want to burn a cd/dvd. Thankfully a solution is already being worked upon: Tamarack. http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/tamarack/ Better than the old volume-manager in oh sooo many ways. Another comment below.
