cdfs(4) contains a paragraph in BUGS that reads: Closing a just-written DVD-R track can take minutes while the drive burns the unused part of the track reservation (for the whole disc). Thus only a single DVD-R track can be written on a DVD-R disc; use other media if you need more than one track per disc. i know the array of media is confusing, but should i read this to imply that DVD+R media are expected to support multi-track writes? i just did something more or less like: for (i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7) {venti/rdarena /dev/fs/arenas arenas0.$i > /mnt/cd/wd/$i} the results were not what i had expected: i got d000, which looked correct, and d001 which, upon cursory examination, looked like the concatenation of arenas 1-7. am i just SOL with multi-track DVDs?
i hate this optical format nonsense.
