So I try:

almustafa@orphalese:~$ genisoimage -C 0,1624736 -M /dev/sr2 -o /tmp/newbackup.iso -iso-level 3 -old-root / -R -exclude-list .exclude.lst  -v -V ZWW_BACKUP .

Strange that with -v it didn't give detail of fail.


Loading the 'burning failed' dvd and see what I got. Emmh, I got a DVD
that I can mount, and see the content of the first session, not the
second session.

Detail info about the DVD: (I put it in /dev/sr1 this time)

I guess the DVD+R DL is now ruined. So I take another empty one, and
burn it with your recommended method:

$ growisofs -Z /dev/sr2=backup.iso -speed 1

Result: a success.
