Package: cdbackup Version: 0.7.0-5 Severity: normal When writing virtual images for later burning to DVDs, if the -C switch to cdbackup is not used, the tracks in the images cannot be restored using cdrestore as the CRC check fails. This applies whether the images are on DVD or have been kept on a hard disc.
A workaround is to use cdbackup's -C switch which writes images without the data necessary for CRC checking. cdrestore restores these without problem - I have verified with diff that the restored files match the originals, even when the track is split between images. The lack of CRC checking does mean that some types of error in the data cannot be detected, but they would be if it worked. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-amd64 (SMP w/3 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cdbackup depends on: ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii wodim 9:1.1.9-1 command line CD/DVD writing tool Versions of packages cdbackup recommends: ii cpio 2.9-13 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar cdbackup suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
