Another problem (or is that normal using ext2?): mounting the cdrw (after writing to it) in my cdrom instead of the burner, i couldn't see any files.
I would have thought it would work, but I don't have a CDROM drive to test this. Does the same thing work if you use the udf filesystem? Did the mount command succeed for the ext2 case or did you get some error message?
The mount command gave no error, also a df -H says the amount auf used and free! space on /dev/cdrom. But a ls -l /mnt/cdrom gives only an empty dir. With udf there are no problems to have access through the cdrom.
Are you sure it was really mounted as type ext2? Just run "mount" without arguments to see how it was mounted.
Another posibility is the CDROM drive doesn't grok fixed packet tracks correctly, so all the blank spaces between the packets show up as valid blocks. UDF detects this and skips the link/lead-in/lead-out blocks, but ext2 wouldn't.. (though if this was the case, I'd be amazed it mounted at all) Ben
