I used xcdroast to create a multi-session CDROM. Then later, I added another session, also as multi-session. Now when I access the CDROM, I only see the files I added during the second session.
Where are the first files I put on there? How can I get to them?
Is the next session set up to add to the previous (importing the directory structure) or start afresh (just using up the left over space instead of a new disc)?
There are various different ways of using multi-session discs.
I don't know. When I created the disc, it seemed odd to me that the default was "Fixate". ISTM that one wouldn't want to fixate after writing to a multi-session. BUT when I deselected that option, a pop-up warned me that it might create a disc which was unusable.
I have tried
# mount -O session=<n> /mnt/cdromwith <n> in the range 0 to 4 inclusive, and always see the files from the second session I created, but none of the files I put on the disc with the first session.

From this am I to understand that you fixated each session?
You are to understand exactly that.
If a disk isn't fixated, then it can be unusable in some situations. I learned this in the past.
That's what xcdroast warned me of.
If you fixated after the first session, you don't have multiple sessions but multiple writes. This is another issue.
Hmm. Then what exactly is "Multi-session Mode"?
