Hm, TUV, bugreport, filed, one each?

But TUV about it. It sounds like the man page does not match reality.

Lemme see, I am using SL6.1. The growisofs tool is version 7.1. Not feeling
like wasting a DVD or CDROM I simply tried the command with no disk in the
drive.

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/sr0=image.iso   (With an appropriate file.)

It trundled for a few moments then complained:
:-( /dev/sr0: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 0

growisofs is found at /usr/bin/growisofs and is seen as:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 93952 Nov 22  2010 /usr/bin/growisofs

I ran it as root for write privileges.
