Hi!

Now I verified version from git master branch and it seems to work.

And CDR code was not modified since release 2.1. At time of releasing
version 2.1 I tested that cdr image created by mkudffs and burned to
CD-R disc can be correctly recognized and mounted by linux kernel.

For write-once media you are not able to modify size of UDF partition.
So if you are creating image for CD-R disc, you need to specify size of
UDF filesystem to match size of CD-R disc. VAT is always burned to the
last block of current track on CD-R.

Therefore if you had pre-allocated big image file for CD-R and then you
run mkudffs for cdr on it, you lost information what is the last used
block on that cdr image. Normally for optical drivers kernel use mmc
commands to retrieve last block of current session and based on it find
VAT. But image files loaded via /dev/loop are not optical drivers and
therefore do not have ability "hardware" ability to ask where is the
last used block. IIRC in this case kernel just fallback to the last
block of block device for VAT, which in this case is not correct.

What should help is to truncate image file to "correct" size after
running mkudffs with --media-type=cdr. Maybe mkudffs itself should do it
when was asked to create UDF filesystem for CD-R on existing image file.
