USB printer + 2.5.50
Hi, I'm recovering from a major system fsck-up (portage kept uninstalling everything after I'd installed it). I'm using kernel 2.5.50bk3, because none of the stable kernels seemed to like my Highpoint 374 controller. and plain old 2.5.50 wouldn't compile. I've got the usblp module loaded, UHCI and EHCI support in the kernel, device nodes created, but for some reason the printer doesn't show up.

RE: ext3 Bug in 2.4.20
Llama, I think the question is why i'd want to go back to ext2? I've never had any need nor desire to revert to any other filesystem since using XFS. the fact that you'd even have a need to do it with ext3 speaks volumes about its lack of maturity. How about accessing the disk with a system that doesn't have a new kernel and can't handle the new file systems? Would that be a good reason to go back? Some systems don't get updated because they aren't broken. But they may need access to data that is on a newer system. I suppose the newer system could copy the data onto a file system that the older system could access, but that seems like an unneeded extra step to me.

Re: CD burner write speed and cdrecord
I think you'll find that the 48 is the speed at which it reads. The unit writes at a slower speed - how slow depends on the unit itself (the bus it's on like IDE, SCSI, and how well made it is and the computer. Usually the write speed is lower like 1,2,8,12x.

Re: CD burner write speed and cdrecord
Just for the record, The Sony 48x CR-R, 24x CR-RW, 48x CD-ROM (CRX215E1) works just fine in linux, at least with CD-R data and CD-ROM. I used the latest cdrtools (cdrecord, version 1.8 and mkisofs version 1.12.) It writes a cd (580 mbytes) in about 220 seconds or less with speed set to 40 and reported speed of 32. The StepByStep on burners is pretty complete. Some observations: Ahh.. The pain has stopped. It only took two short evenings to get this working under linux. The scsi stuff is a pain. Knowing how to use modules is a must. If I hadn't had to install a zip drive last year, another scsi pretender, I would have been a lot longer doing this. Although it took only about an hour or less to get it working in windows, the Sony supplied software was so GUIish it was awful to use. The command line cdrecord and mkisofs are a pleasure. The man documents are intimidating. They are well covered in: http://wt.xpilot.org/publications/linux/howtos/cd-writing/html/CD-Writing.html#toc3 And, linux is just more robust. Windows crashed once writing to this drive. Linux soldiered on burning at x32, even when a rogue top command was using up 95% or more of my cpu time and the mouse was virtually frozen. If you interrupt the program while it is burning, the drive seems to stay busy. Instead of rebooting, just unplug the power cord to the drive in the computer.

The unit writes at a slower speed - how slow depends on the unit itself (the bus it's on like IDE, SCSI, and how well made it is and the computer. Usually the write speed is lower like 1,2,8,12x. What is important is a speed at which it produces good CDs and this may be lower than what the vendor says is max spped. I am getting set to finally burn some cd's. I have a 48 speed CD-R drive. I have only a vague idea what that means. Here is a section of the man cdrecord regarding speed of writing: ==man cdrecord on speed speed = # Set the speed factor of the writing process to #. # is an integer, representing a multiple of the audio speed. This is about 150 KB/s for CD-ROM and about 172 KB/s for CD-Audio. If no speed option is present, cdrecord will try to get the speed value from the CDR_SPEED environment. If your drive has problems with speed=2 or speed=4, you should try speed=0. =end man cdrecord on speed=== I would appreciate and English translation and some suggestions for setting the speed parameter. If I understand this this means I can set the speed of writing to 48. When I crank up the speed, either to 40 or 50, cdrecord says it is writing at speed = 32. Does the type of disk (mfg or type) influence the top writing speed? I have an 800megahertz Athlon processor. Any insight appreciated, Joel -- ~ L.

Re: CD burner write speed and cdrecord
You are right. On the package it says: 1X to 32X. I guess that explains my top speed of 32.

Joel Plextor definitely has the best reputation, their latest scsi cdrw being a 12/10/32 or something like that and their scsi cdrom was 40x. HP, where you can still find their older scsi cdrw, had 12/8/32 that was available as either an internal or external unit. Yamaha makes a scsi 16/10/40 as either an internal or external. Recently Yamaha came out with scsi 48/24/48 or thereabouts. I have HP and Yamaha cdrw that are used in light to moderate burning (10 to 20 cd a month) and both brands have worked fine. If you are not looking for a burner, then consider the Toshiba sd-1401 a scsi dvd - 10x and cdrom - 40x, costs more than just a cdrom but great for loading the distro directly off of the DVD. This unit can be hard to find, but I did find another new one a few months ago. As others have already suggested try pricewatch, and also consider ebay if you are willing to play that game.
