the TOC from the failed lead-in of the 4th session, and the 'open'
fails.
That is what cdfs avoids. So i think that the cd is physically damaged
or ur drive and cd combo is problematic. Suggest u try cdfs on
another drive preferably LG (found samsung to be real bad).
The CD is in pristine condition. Not a scratch. But I'll try to get my
hands on an LG drive.
And cdfs 'thinks' that there is no CD in the drive because the kernel
driver tells it that. The kernel driver tells it that because it can't read
the last TOC. :( Would anyone know if there is any way I could override
this behavior from application space ?
Some more info from the web on multisession using
cdrecord. Dont know
where I got the info from.
Thanks. This was quite helpful. I have yet to try all of it. And the
cdrom.c tinkering I was talking about.
Will post any progress on this when it happens.
Thanks a lot,
Zainul.
