Thank you, but it is incomplete as we can see by the "...". I would like
to read it all. Can you supplement ?
 

The "..." indicates that the last portion, the "/<cd drive dir>/=/<local dir>/,"
can be repeated to map several directories:

/<cd drive dir1>/=/<local dir1>/ /<cd drive dir2>/=/<local dir2>/ ...

But there is a limit to how many directories can be mapped.
If too many are specified an error message may appear:

"warning - too many dirs - growisofs is not tar."

Note that this is not the only burning command possible.  I use
it because it allows a direct burning of directories from HDD/SDD
to the BDR.

Another command sequence that allows burning arbitrary files (not just
directories) is the following.

For 25G BDR
-------------------

Create a file of size 24.3G:
 
truncate --size=24.3GB /some/dir/bluray.udf

Create udf file system and mount as loopback:

mkudffs -b 2048 -r 0x0201 /some/dir/bluray.udf

mount -t udf -o rw,loop /some/dir/bluray.udf /mount/point

Copy files to the mounted /some/dir/bluray.udf

Then burn:

umount /some/dir/bluray.udf

growisofs -speed=2 -Z /dev/sr0=/some/dir/bluray.udf


Before any burn using the "-dry-run" option is recommended.
