There is absolutely no problem with RW discs, that I can at least verify
:)... but I gather there are issues with DVD writing appliances that
don't finalize a disc burn.... though this is only an assumption, so I'm
prepared to be the ass. Since there were no files found in the
media/cdrom folder, I can only gather that whatever problem there might
be, is actually a kernel issue. (Whether the kernel devs consider it an
issue if you can mount an unfanalized disc or not is another matter.)
