Hi List, I find somewhere in the Net that to check the goodness of CD we can use
dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null If the o/p is without any errors then CD is fine. I checked this with a CD i have. I got the following o/p [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null dd: reading `/dev/cdrom': Input/output error 2392+0 records in 2392+0 records out CD is partially written and I can understand that reading beyond that gives I/O error. While giving following command with blocks [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/dev/null count=2392 2392+0 records in 2392+0 records out Here I have specified the blocks in "count" parameter. My question is, is there any way to find the bytes currently used in CD so that I can specify in "dd" command.
