How to burn a DVD

We assume that the DVD+RW device lives at /dev/scd1.

• The blank DVD+R/RW must first be formatted:

dvd+rw-format /dev/scd1

This step should only be performed once.

• Initially burn data directories /home and /usr with this:

growisofs -R -J -Z /dev/scd1 /home /usr

• Append additional directory /lib with this:

growisofs -R -J -M /dev/scd1 /lib

• Access data by mounting to a mount point (like /mnt/dvd+rw):

mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd1 /mnt/dvd+rw
