df fooled by multitrack CDROM's

[Dan Jacobson]

Fellas, did I tell you that multitrack CDROM's could fool df into
underreporting MEGABYTES of disk usage?  That's right, the CD could
contain many times what is shown by "df /cdrom".

I tried to tell the Debian folks but e.g. some Matt using Mutt just brushed
it off

anyways get on down to http://bugs.debian.org/201352 to start on the
trail of this hullabaloo.  Or at least note the problem in the df man page.
