RE: Dump a Directory to CD?

["Creager, Robert S" <CreagRS@LOUISVILLE.STORTEK.COM>]

Hey Tom,

I forgot to mention.  Supermount only means something when your media has a
recognizable file system.  Unless you are burning your CD's with multiple
sessions, you should not run into any problems, as cdrecord works with the
raw device, not a 'mounted' device.  I also suspect that supermount will
only check the device on a media change status.

I've not played with supermount and a multi-session CD where I want to write
more, so I'm not sure what would happen.

Later,
Rob

OK, I did it.  It took me 53 lines of code and all I do is set up 
directories so xcdroast can get at the data.  This is OK for my purposes 
since I have to load disks anyway.   It was worry some that cdrecord  might 
get in the way of supermount.  So I did not attempt the full automation.  I 
suspect that Rob will eventually do something like this for me.  He just 
has to feel the pain of keeping track of loading and unloading disks.
