What format does Direct CD use when writing data to disk?
Linux can read man formats. The following is from the linux
mount man page:
Quote:
-t vfstype
The argument following the -t is used to indicate
the file system type. The file system types which
are currently supported are listed in
linux/fs/filesystems.c: adfs, affs, autofs, coda,
coherent, devpts, efs, ext, ext2, hfs, hpfs,
iso9660, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc,
qnx4, romfs, smbfs, sysv, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat,
xenix, xiafs. Note that coherent, sysv and xenix
are equivalent and that xenix and coherent will be
removed at some point in the future -- use sysv
instead. Since kernel version 2.1.21 the types ext
and xiafs do not exist anymore.
If you burn in
vfat format on Windows, for example, you must mount in vfat format. Same is true for all filesystem types. If CD Direct burns in iso9660 format, the same holds true. Best guess, as Livin' said is to try iso9660 first, if you don't know for sure and can't find out easily.

FSTAB(5) Linux Programmer's Manual FSTAB(5)
NAME
fstab - static information about the filesystems
SYNOPSIS
#include <fstab.h>
DESCRIPTION
The file fstab contains descriptive information about the various file systems. fstab is only read by programs, and not written; it is the
duty of the system administrator to properly create and maintain this file. Each filesystem is described on a separate line; fields on
each line are separated by tabs or spaces. Lines starting with '#' are comments. The order of records in fstab is important because
fsck(8), mount(8), and umount(8) sequentially iterate through fstab doing their thing.
The first field, (fs_spec), describes the block special device or remote filesystem to be mounted.
For ordinary mounts it will hold (a link to) a block special device node (as created by mknod(8)) for the device to be mounted, like
`/dev/cdrom' or `/dev/sdb7'. For NFS mounts one will have <host>:<dir>, e.g., `knuth.aeb.nl:/'. For procfs, use `proc'.
Instead of giving the device explicitly, one may indicate the (ext2 or xfs) filesystem that is to be mounted by its UUID or volume label
(cf. e2label(8) or xfs_admin(8)), writing LABEL=<label> or UUID=<uuid>, e.g., `LABEL=Boot' or `UUID=3e6be9de-8139-11d1-9106-a43f08d823a6'.
This will make the system more robust: adding or removing a SCSI disk changes the disk device name but not the filesystem volume label.
The second field, (fs_file), describes the mount point for the filesystem. For swap partitions, this field should be specified as `none'.
If the name of the mount point contains spaces these can be escaped as ` 40'.
The third field, (fs_vfstype), describes the type of the filesystem. Linux supports lots of filesystem types, such as adfs, affs, autofs,
coda, coherent, cramfs, devpts, efs, ext2, ext3, hfs, hpfs, iso9660, jfs, minix, msdos, ncpfs, nfs, ntfs, proc, qnx4, reiserfs, romfs,
smbfs, sysv, tmpfs, udf, ufs, umsdos, vfat, xenix, xfs, and possibly others. For more details, see mount(8). For the filesystems currently
supported by the running kernel, see /proc/filesystems. An entry swap denotes a file or partition to be used for swapping, cf. swapon(8).
An entry ignore causes the line to be ignored. This is useful to show disk partitions which are currently unused. An entry none is useful
for bind or move mounts.
The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated with the filesystem.
It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at least the type of mount plus any additional options appropriate to
the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for non-nfs file systems, see mount(8). For documentation on all nfs-spe-
cific options have a look at nfs(5). Common for all types of file system are the options ``noauto'' (do not mount when "mount -a" is
given, e.g., at boot time), ``user'' (allow a user to mount), and ``owner'' (allow device owner to mount), and ``comment'' (e.g., for use
by fstab-maintaining programs). The ``owner'' and ``comment'' options are Linux-specific. For more details, see mount(8).
The fifth field, (fs_freq), is used for these filesystems by the dump(8) command to determine which filesystems need to be dumped. If the
fifth field is not present, a value of zero is returned and dump will assume that the filesystem does not need to be dumped.
The sixth field, (fs_passno), is used by the fsck(8) program to determine the order in which filesystem checks are done at reboot time.
The root filesystem should be specified with a fs_passno of 1, and other filesystems should have a fs_passno of 2. Filesystems within a
drive will be checked sequentially, but filesystems on different drives will be checked at the same time to utilize parallelism available
in the hardware. If the sixth field is not present or zero, a value of zero is returned and fsck will assume that the filesystem does not
need to be checked.
The proper way to read records from fstab is to use the routines getmntent(3).
