Yes, it hast been checked for compliance by Kodak. And in case you are really interested: Usual multi session CDs made on UNIX do not follow the standard because they are not mode 2 CDs. If I would change the numbers you refer to, things would stop working. > > numbers you see you need to change the code that evaluates the nubers > > which is the kernel. > > This is not Linux specific problem.

Mkisofs does things right (the only possible way), if you don'nt like the Are you sure mkisofs is Orange Book compliant? numbers you see you need to change the code that evaluates the nubers which is the kernel. This is not Linux specific problem. How could _any_ _operation_ _system_ figure out the total size of the currently available files? How could it figure out which old files are "linked in" the current session? All OS-es expect to read this info from PVD. None of them will scan the directories recursively at mount time to count actual disc size. Gabor -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If you don't like the numbers, send a bug report to the Linux kernel folks. Note that doing this in a way that people expect is not simple. Hi Jörg, I guess this is not a kernel problem. Mkisofs runs entirely in user space and its output is a single file. This file is incorrect. Volume Space Size field of Primary Volume Descriptor should be increased according to the size of previous session(s). Why do you think kernel guys can do something to fix this bug? :-o Regards Gabor p.s. I wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :-)

Bug#340429: mkisofs: incorrect volume size on multisession disk
Package: mkisofs Version: 4:2.01+01a01-2 Severity: normal I wrote two sessions on a CD-R. All files are recorded and can be read back well but statfs64() system call reports the size of the last session only: $ df /mnt/cdrom Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc 55032 55032 0 100% /mnt/cdrom Meanwhile $ du -s /mnt/cdrom/ 110955 /mnt/cdrom/ "Volume Space Size" field of (the latest) Primary Volume Descriptor is incorrect (0x6e60).
