cdrecord multisession not working 4319

No. You used ''s when you needed ``s. When you put a command within ``s, your shell will execute that command and replace the part within ``s with the output of that command. If the font you're using doesn't make it easy to distinguish '' and ``, use a different font. Also, the -M option to mkisofs wants a real device name, not a cdrecord X,Y,Z triplet. Note that cdrecord can also take real device names instead of triplets, and that may be the best thing to use despite what Joerg thinks.

Yep, without the right stuff in -C and -M, bad things typically happen.

Get the -C right. You may want to split the commands up; it may be easier to understand this way:

SESS=`cdrecord dev=-dev-hdc -msinfo` mkisofs -r -C $SESS -Mdev-hdc -o output.isopath-to-stuff cdrecord dev=-dev-hdc speed=N -v output.iso

Red herring. Joerg thinks that Linux's SCSI device handling is broken because it doesn't do things the way he thinks is best, so he put those messages in. Ignore them; they make no difference at all according to the many CDs I've burned with 2.6.10-vanilla. HTH,
