Re: Problems mounting DVD-RWs written with growisofs



In contrary to cdrecord, growisofs does not implement "multi-border"
support
Yes, it does! Virgin and fully blanked DVD-RW media are written in compliant multi-border manner! DVD-R[W] multi-border support was there from day DVD-R[W] support was added to growisofs, along with Restricted Overwrite DVD-RW support.

Does this mean you only use the trick for DVD+RW?

No. ISO9660 volumes on DVD-RW *Restricted Overwrite* are treated in the same way as on DVD+RW. As well as on DVD-RAM, BD-RE, BD-R formatted for Pseudo-Overwrite. It should be noted that in last case media can be treated as both multi-session[/-border] and expandable single-session. Or rather multi-session capable OSes will mount it as if it was multi-session, while non-multi-session capable OSes will mount first session, yet be able to access files from all the sessions. A.
