Check if CD or DVD is blank

I cannot mount a DVD, most probably because it is blank, so it contains no filesystem.
Is there a way to be sure that the disk is blank?

Call cdrecord -v -minfo.
If you have more than one CD/DVD/BluRay drive, you need to specify a dev= parameter.
NOTE: the option -minfo (media info) has been introduced 12 years ago, so you need to use a halfway recent cdrecord version to be able to use that option.
See man pages:
http://cdrtools.sourceforge.net/private/man/cdrecord/index.html
A recent version is here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/schilytools/files/ today, the version 2018-12-06 is recent. Just unpack the tar archive and call make inside at top level.

Thank you. Would it be -msinfo instead of -minfo? I called the command with -msinfo; could you please tell me which is the relevant field of the output? Among other things, I got:

No, it is-minfothat means media info, while-msinfomeans multi session info. BTW: You are not usingcdrecord, but a fake command that implements the development state from May 2004.
