As the web page mentions, even though DVD+RW is specified to provide for true random write, not all units actually live up to this promise. Unfortunately:-( In addition to 2nd generation Ricoh-based units (as mentioned on the page), SONY units were also reported to work reliably, but that's about it... At least among a number of reports from NEC users, not a single one was a success story:-( > "mkudffs --spartable=2 --media-type=cdrw" As was pointed out in another thread, Linux UDF doesn't seem to be fast enough to be practical. Also unfortunately... A combination that is known to work reliably with kernel patch and any unit is to bind /dev/scdN to /dev/raw/rawN and use /dev/raw/rawN effectively as a tape device, e.g. with tar or cpio (also mentioned on the page in "performance optimization" paragraph). > Any ideas or suggestions welcome! Stick to growisofs (or /dev/raw/rawN as depicted above). A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
