I have a couple of quick questions about cdrecord and CD-RW drives.

1) To re-write to a CD-RW drive, I gather you must use the blank=all
parameter. Must I issue this as a separate command like so before telling 
cdrecord to write the image to the disk:


cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0 blank=all       

or can I combine the commands on one line like so:

cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0 blank=all /u1/tmpcd/cdimage.raw

2) I noticed that the disk created truncates all file names to 8
characters, which is obviously not what I want. Is there a way around
this? Or must I create a tarball first and then create an image from the
tarball to preserve long filenames?

Any help appreciated.

Gary
