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/cdrom
with <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"?

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
