Media Status: POW formatted

Hi,

In using xorriso's -toc option, some older blu-ray disks written with growisofs return a media status of "is unsuitable, is POW formatted".

I haven't been able to find an interpretation of that in the xorriso documentation or from internet searches. The word "unsuitable" is found once in the xorriso man page and sounds like something to do with the media's inability to support multi-session operations, which sounds simliar to "closed". I can't find a reference to "POW formatted" anywhere and am curious what it means?

The old media mounts and reads fine, but I'd like to understand and accurately interpret this message for display in my application. Any help with clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Tom
