The CD was written in 4 different sessions, with only the last one failing. Thus the TOC of the first three sessions should be readable in the Lead-in of the 3rd session. But the trouble is the driver does not detect the CD in the drive because it tries to read 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.
