I would like to add a DVD burner to my system. Anyone have recommendations on which ones play nice with FreeBSD? With so many formats I am trying to decide which one will be my best option. Thanks Sean

Hi, Tnx again for your answer! Most of what you need is already in the GENERIC kernel. The rest is a available as modules. IIRC, you have to load the cam.ko module. Just use the ATAPI DVD burner via CAM. AFAICT it's very stable. I haven't burnt a coaster yet. An SCSI DVD burner is bound to be

Hi Roland, First off: tnx for your reply! I haven't tried burning DVDs with the ATA driver. The manual page for growisofs says that you should use SCSI devices on OpenBSD and NetBSD, but it doesn't mention FreeBSD. Hmmm, one would guess FreeBSD not to be very different in that respect.

Hi, [...] 2200S. What I'm wondering about is the following: would it be possible to use the 2200S as a regular controller for a SCSI DVD rewriter, in combination with it running 4 drives in RAID 10 mode? The controller has two U320 channels and allows up to 30 devices to be connected to it.

Hi, Within a few weeks I will be aquiring a new server, and it will most likely feature a 64-bit AMD processor. One of the (hardware-wise) things I need to solve before being able to actually get it, is which DVD burner (for back-ups, etc.) I can best install in it. From the FreeBSD 5.4

My understanding is that any burner will show up and give you a block device, rather it's the authoring software that has the burden to recognize the burner for what it really is, and make full use of it. That said, what authoring software are you intending to use? I've had lots of luck in

There are none currently. The solution is to use your secondary IDE channel for your optical drives, your Primary IDE channel for your boot drive and a secondary controller (They're dirt cheap, like $25) for any other drives. Keeping your Hard drives at 1/channel improves performance, since
