Hi, i see that the advise about the read capacity is overdone, now that you have a formatted DVD-RW. dvd+rw-mediainfo will always report the full capacity of the formatted medium (~ 4482 MB).
For checkreading only the valid range of the ISO filesystem by dd, you may inquire the size of the ISO image. E.g. get the byte count by isosize /dev/sr0 and divide it by 2048 to get the number of blocks for dd ... count=... Not to forget: Do not blank the formatted DVD-RW any more. This would de-format it. If you want to erase its content for privacy reasons, then overwrite it by publicly presentable content. E.g. by dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=2295104 of=/dev/sr0 (Your kernel should well be able to write to formatted DVD-RW without the need for a burn program.) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
