Changes before growisofs ever starts of course won't cause a problem, but would be a good indicator of a potential problem. If there's a simple way to monitor all the files then I don't see why it couldn't be done throughout the burn. Of course it's too late, but at least you'd know. I think just a generic passive warning somewhere might be a lot better than nothing. > The easier way would of course be to simply warn about this if files from the > home dir are added... Files can change in a lot of places for different reasons. To really cover it, the warning should be for any writeable filesystem. Of course this will end up one of those warnings where most people just click "OK"(ie.. "whatever") and "don't show this again" and never read it, but that can't be helped. I do wish there was a way to write files to a DVD+R one file at a time. Probably I shouldn't be looking for ISO filesystem solution. Maybe I should just use something like cpio along with growisofs's ability to burn pipes. Of course then I can't read the disk without extracting it again. Some browsers will read tar files as if they were a filesystem, maybe that can help me get around the readability problem. Ideas are welcomed. _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail to go? Get your Hotmail, news, sports and much more!
