DVD Writer problems
Hello, I'v been having problems getting this DVD drive working at all, I'm running on 6.3 p1.. On boot it is detected as: acd0: DMA limited to UDMA33, controller found non-ATA66 cable acd0: DVDR ATAPI DVD A DH20A4P/9P57 at ata0-master UDMA33 Which is the first sign of trouble, it is connected by an ATA66 capable cable and I'v tried swapping over the cable to rule out a faulty cable and the message is the same. It is connected to: atapci0: Intel ICH6 UDMA100 controller port 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6,0x170-0x177,0x376,0xffa0-0xffaf irq 16 at device 31.1 on pci0 ata0: ATA channel 0 on atapci0 ata1: ATA channel 1 on atapci0 When trying to use burncd on it, the drives light flashes for a while then after a delay I get: acd0: FAILURE - READ_TRACK_INFO ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 On the console and any further attempt to use the drive results in that message being repeated without any delay, also trying to use the atapiscsi device results in a similar message: acd0: FAILURE - INQUIRY ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00 Any thoughts on what problem here is?

I don't want to spend a lot of time configuring it. I just want to install something I know will work, with minimal need for configuration. Also, will I need special software to do the actual writing? I've configured my system to use the DVD via SCSI subsystem with the atapicam driver. See http://www.xs4all.nl/~rsmith/freebsd/index.html#cdrom But that was mainly because cdrecord(1) only works well with SCSI devices. I haven't tried burning DVDs with the atapicd driver. If so, what free software works well and is easy to use? Suggestions? Success stories? For DVDs you'll need growisofs(1) from the /usr/ports/sysutils/dvd+rw-tools port. I find it easy to use in scripts or from the command line, but there are graphical front ends. Normally, growisofs writes ISO9660 filesystems, but growisofs will burn anything you tell it to. My DVD backup script makes several tar archives of my data, which are then compressed with bzip2 and encrpyted with ccrypt(1). Those tarfiles are burnt directly to DVD, without an ISO9660 filesystem. But I think that DVD's aren't optimal for backups. My advice would be to buy an external USB harddrive. They're not that expensive anymore and store a lot more data. I use one of those (with GELI encryption) to store compressed filesystem dumps. A dump is the best way to save all the filesystem metadata. Most backup strategies can save user- and group-ids and permissions, but they can't cope well with flags, acls or links.

Burning with HP DVD Writer 630 (c/i)
Hello. I am having some serious problems with my HP DVD Writer 630c, aka 630i. It doesn't really respond when I click the eject button, I have to press it real hard a lot of times before it opens. And, when I've finally managed putting a disc into it, whether it's a CD or a DVD, it cannot read it. Let alone write to it. I'm a poor man so buying a new burner ain't really an option.

Using extrn DVD writer HP-300e (USB/firewire) with 4.9 or 5.1?
Hi, I am trying to use an hp 300e external dvd writer from FreeBSD. The links I found so far suggest this isn't possible or available yet. But those pages were old (Sep 2002?). Has anything changed recently? The drive supports both USB as well as firewire - any option (however slow) is ok for me. The drive supports DVD+R and DVD+RW media. How is the support in 4.9 vs 5.1? I would like to stick to 4.9 if it is possible.
