NEW features of cdrtools-1.10:
Late changes:
- Workaround for a Linux bug in ide-scsi. This bug appeared
newly on Linux-2.4 with the sg ioctl() interface and caused
cdrecord not to be able to see the reason for a failed SCSI
command as the SCSI status byte always was 0.
- libscg now correctly behaves in delayed error printing mode.
The verbose level now is honored.
- The RSCSI server daemon used to ignore the timeout send from
the remote client.
Thanks to egor duda <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- cdrecord now is silent while fixating on a MITSUMI CR-4802TE
There was a superluous scgp->silent--; which forced
silent to become negative.
- cdrecord now waits 240 seconds for the drive to become ready
after issuing a blank command. This allows cdrecord to work
properly with drives like the MITSUMI CR-4802TE (which returns
early from the blank command). Cdrecord now waits long enough
so the drive is really ready from a blank=fast.
- Mkisofs now clears all allocated memory before use to avoid
core dumps from uninitlized parts of structures.
All:
- Autoconf check for Gygwin-B20 vs. Cygwin-1.x
Now all commands should compile on both versions of Cygwin
- ************************
Should change all programs to test for IS_CYGWIN and IS_CYGWIN_1
in future because Cygwin is going to chang macros from __CYGWIN32__
to __CYGWIN__ in future.
************************
- Rules for HP-9000-800
- Better autoconf for HP-UX
- Checked and corrected format strings for printf like functions.
This makes 64 bit support more correct.
- include files updated to support C++ compiling
- README.compile updated
- Remove target before trying to install a hardlink.
This allows to replace old mkhybrid versions by the new
unified mkisofs hard link.
- printf %p format for 64 bit architectures corrected.
- New changes to update the VMS support
- VMS now supports ATAPI
(Thanks to Eberhard Heuser-Hofmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>)
- Libscg OS part for SunOS now compiles correctly even on SunOS-4.x
- Makerule support for Win98 ME
- Makerule support for Win NT-5.0 aka w2000
- changed rules1.dir to circumvent a bug in bash-2.01
- README.os2 gives a hint to the Joliet bug on OS/2
- README.multi now has a hint about problems with multi-session
and Joliet
- Allow ENOTTY as indicator for an illegal ioctl(). In case
somebody from the Linux kernel team learns that the correct
errno for an illegal ioctl is ENOTTY instead of EINVAL.
This would allow libscg to switch back to the non-ioctl
version of the interface in this case.
- Large file support for all tools except cdda2wav
- *************** General Large File Notes ********************
If you have problems with compiling the large file aware programs
on your OS, look for all files called Makefile or '*.mk' and
remove the lines that contain:
CPPOPTS += -DUSE_LARGEFILES
*************************************************************
- getargs() now supports long long parameters (needed for large files).
- First Apollo Domain/OS Rules
- Support for broken usleep() on Apollo Domain/OS
- Support for GCC on IRIX
- Suport for Lint on Solaris
- Try to fix a bug in ieeefp.h on True64 do to a hint from
Bert De Knuydt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
to make fconv.c work on True64
- First support for Mac OS X (Darwin variant)
This is the MAC OX X version that uses the new mach kernel and has
no user SCSI support
- Autoconf Support for the changed __dtoa() interface in new FreeBSD
- Autoconf Support for __filbuf() vs. _filbuf() in USG STDIO
- Added support for latest GCC on Cygwin
- Added support for Win ME & Cygwin
- install-sh now does not complain anymore about chown problems
on Cygwin with Win9x
The .EXE problem still is not completely colved. It
is a makefile problem.
- New Architectures: mips-linux-cc.rul mipsel-linux-cc.rul
- Unified options for libscg users: cdrecord, readcd, scgcheck, sformat
-version print version information and exit
dev=target SCSI target to use
debug=#,-d Set to # or increment misc debug level
kdebug=#,kd=# do Kernel debugging
timeout=# set the default SCSI command timeout to #.;
-verbose,-v increment general verbose level by one
-Verbose,-V increment SCSI command transport verbose level by one
-silent,-s do not print status of failed SCSI commands
- Support for new DEC Alpha processor types in config.sub.
- install-sh now does not print a junk line when installing as root
- AIX Rules fixed
- Fixed a typo in xconfig.h.in that caused that time.h was never included.
Libscg:
- libscg restrucured for a unified naming scheme and better management
of error messages.
- All references to printf()/fprintf()/sprintf() removed
We definitely need js_*printf() and like to avoid programs
to be forced to include two different printf implementations.
- libscg now primarily writes to a string instead of a mix of
stdout/stderr for error reporting.
The new standard behaviour is to write the error text to
stderr to the end of each SCSI command. This can be supressed
by setting the SCSI error File ptr to NULL.
- New functions serrmsg()/serrmsgno() complete the
set of error reporting functions in libschily.
- reset from libscg now distinguishes between Bus reset
and target reset.
- Trying to limit the needed include files in
scsitranp.c and scsihack.c so potential name space
conflicts with the low level transport code are
limited.
Many OS are not supplying clean SCSI include files.
They automatically include completely unnecessary definitions
for a low level transport. For this reason, there is a high
potential for name space conflicts with the high level
definitions of libscg.
- OS dependaent low level SCSI transport code now is completely
separated from the upper layers.
This makes it possible to select between different
transport implementations at runtime.
Note that this feature is used with SCG/USCSI code
for Solaris because use of both transport implementations
is completely disjunct. It is not used for Linux sg/pg
transport because SCSI bus scanning spans both tansports.
- SCSI address data now is completely encapsulated.
- scg_havebus() routine made consistent for several OS.
- Remote-SCSI (SCSI Anywhere) protocol added in librscg
Note that remote SCSI is also a good method for
formal (experimental) verification of the libscg interface.
A remote transport implementation may only implement
known "official" features of a library interface.
The fact that rscsi now works for 4 weeks helped me to fix
several small problems in the interface. Since about a
week, no problem has been observed.
- libscg/scsi-linux-sg.c now returns version information for
pg driver if apropriate.
- Check for HAVE_BSD_DEV_SCSIREG_H on Mac OS X to make sure that
libscg compiles (witout SCSI support) on Darwin.
Note that Darwin no more has SCSI user transport support.
- As UnixWare 7.1.1 doesn't allow to open the passthrough
interface for disks, this is disabled by default.
cdrecord -scanbus will therefore only list devices other
than disks. To enable the scanning of disks, you need to
set an environment variable "LIBSCG_SCAN_ALL".
Be warned, doing so might lock your disk subsystem!
- Changed MKNOD.hpux to support 15 SCSI busses
- Detect DMA overrun with Linux Parallel port ATAPI
- Return Linux sg kernel driver version with scgo_version(scgp, what)
- Corrected error behaviour for Linux sg driver interface
- Corrected error behaviour for Sun USCSI driver interface
- New libsc interface functions scg_vhead()/scg_vtail()/scg_verbose()
scg_getdmacnt()/scg_errfflush() to make libscg more flexible
- Now all failed SCSI commands (not in silent mode) print
the SCSI timings. This makes it easier to understand why
a command has been aborted with a reset.
- Raised libscg version to 0.5
Rscsi:
- This is the first external release of the Remote-SCSI protocol
which gives you SCSI-Anywhere features.
There are three possible ways to control access to the remote users:
- Let the remote scsi lib log in as a standard user.
In this case rscsi will be called via sh -c /opt/schily/sbin/rscsi
NOTE: In this case, rscsi must be installed suid root.
--- This would need to allow any valid local user to access SCSI ----
It could be a security problem.
- Log in as root and call rscsi via sh -c /opt/schily/sbin/rscsi
NOTE that this will fore you to allow remote logins as root
which is considered to be a security hole.
- Create one or more special user(s) that have /opt/schily/sbin/rscsi
as login shell with their own home directory.
You then may create special .rhost files for each user.
NOTE: In this case, rscsi must be installed suid root.
**** This is the preferred method ****
To enable remote SCSI via the login shell method you should do the following:
- Add an entry to /etc/passwd in the form:
rscsi:x:1999:1000:Tape:/export/home/rscsi:/opt/schily/sbin/rscsi
(modify this according to your OS). And don't forget to
modify /etc/shadow the way it needs to be on your OS.
- Create a home directory for this user and add a .rhosts file
to allow access to all users you like.
- Install rscsi suid root into /opt/schily/sbin
- Install a file /etc/default/rscsi and define access rights.
Without this file, rscsi will not work at all.
The template for this file is: rscsi/rscsi.dfl
RSCSI Security:
- When rscsi starts, it checks if /etc/default/rscsi exists.
If not, it dies.
- If rscsi is not called by a user listed in /etc/default/rscsi
it dies.
- To acess a SCSI target there must be an entry that lists the user
rcsi hast been started from, the hostname and the SCSI target.
rscsi compares the hostname field in /etc/default/rscsi
to the peername retrived from STDIN:
- legal host name IP connection
- "ILLEGAL_SOCKET" Not an IP socket
- "NOT_IP" Not a socket
RSCSI Security hints:
- Do not generally allow other users to see your boot disk via RSCSI.
All people who see this disk may edit yhour passwd file.
- If you are in doubt, only export CD-ROM drives, scanners and similar
devices that are not directly security sensitive.
If anybody sees a security hole in my security precautions, plese send me a mail!
RSCSI usage:
- To use remote SCSI devices you need to know how to access a specific remote
SCSI target.
- dev=REMOTE:host: or dev=REMOTE:host
will allow you to do SCSI bus scanning while you log in as yourself
- dev=REMOTE:user@host: or dev=REMOTE:user@host
will allow you to do SCSI bus scanning while you log in as "user"
If you use the setup described above, you should use:
dev=REMOTE:rscsi@babbel:
to do SCSI Bus scanning on host babbel
- To access a specific SCSI device, you must specify
dev=REMOTE:host:<target spec> or dev=REMOTE:user@host:<target spec>
<target spec> is the SCSI target specification as it is needed
on the remote host
dev=REMOTE:rscsi@babbel:1,3,0
Will let you log in as rscsi on host babbel and open Target 3 lun 0
on SCSI bus #1
- If you use cdrecord -vv ...., cdrecord will on startup print some
information about the remote libscg version used for the connection.
- To be able to use the remote SCSI client code from win32 you need to create
a file /etc/passwd with a corect entry for the user you are on win32.
Call 'id' to get the right user id.
Note that remote SCSI has not yet been tested on Win32.
RSCSI speed:
- On a Ultra-10 running Solaris 8, the command overhead time is 400 usec.
You may achieve up to 9900 kB/s via a 100MB/s ethernet connection
bewteen two of such machines.
- With 100 MB/s, 12x recording should be no problem.
- With 10 MB/s, 4x recording is the maximum. Do tests before!
- Logging into a remote machine and running cdrecord on the remote machine
causes the buffer cache on that machine to be trashed. The main user
is disturbed.
- Doing cdrecording via Remote SCSI causes only the rscsi command with less
than 200kB to be needed on the remote machine hosting the CD recorder.
The main user on that machine is not disturbed.
The buffer cache of the machine running cdrecord is trashed.
- It is desirable to use a Burn-Proof recorder to make sure that network
load will not cause buffer underruns.
- USER= test and test for hostname are using a pattern matcher.
Cdrecord:
- Now first tries to reset the target and then does a SCSI Bus
device reset.
- Hack for a mysterioys drive ....
Device type : Removable CD-ROM
Version : 0
Response Format: 1
Vendor_info : 'RWD '
Identifikation : 'RW2224 '
Revision : '2.53'
Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
which seem to have some OPC problems.
- Fixed a bug in drv_mmc.c that caused cdrecord to core dump if a drive
returns speed == 0
- Add several workarounds for ATAPI firmare found e.g. in Iomega Zip USB
drives and possibly many other other system based on the same OEM system.
- Add a workaround for a bug in the mode sense implementation
in IOMEGA ATAPI firmware. The drive sends too many bytes
if a program reqests less than 4 bytes with a 10 byte mode sense
command. This causes a DMA overrun which may only be cured by
a reset (at least if the drive is connected via a ATAPI/USB bridge).
Note that the method cdrecord uses (and which causes the problem)
is explicitly noted as the official method to find out whether a
drive supports a certain mode page.
NOTE: To get USB drives working on Linux, you should know that USB-SCSI
support on Linux-2.4test8 is buggy and for this reason too old.
You need usb-storage.c from 4.10.2000 or newer.
To check if your kernel is OK, issue a cdrecord -toc dev=....
with no mdia loaded. If the output looks like this:
cdrecord: I/O error. test unit ready: scsi sendcmd: no error
CDB: 00 00 00 00 00 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: 70 00 02 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 3A 01 00 00 00 00
Sense Key: 0x2 Not Ready, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x3A Qual 0x01 (medium not present - tray closed) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 0 (not valid)
cdrecord: No disk / Wrong disk!
your kernel is OK, if you only see the last line, you should run
cdrecord -V
and check for the SCSI error messages.
If you see:
status: 0x1 (GOOD STATUS)
instead of
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
you have a buggy USB-SCSI driver.
- Map PIONEER CD-WO DR-R504X to DEV_PIONEER_DW_S114X according to a
hint from [EMAIL PROTECTED]
- Change sample macro to ssample in cdrecord.h
to make compilation on Cygwin-1.x easier
- Try to deal with the new include file structure of Cygwin-1.x
- Impelemented workaround for a firmware bug in ACER drives:
The ACER drive:
Vendor_info : 'ATAPI '
Identifikation : 'CD-R/RW 8X4X32 '
Revision : '5.EW'
Will not return from -dummy to non-dummy without
opening the tray.
This caused cdrecord to write all disks in -dummy mode if
used ith this drive.
The drive above seems to be a widly used OEM drive so this is an
important change.
- Updated README.multi
- Finnaly we got working support for the Plasmon RF 4100
Thanks to Joerg Wunsch
- Try to support mmap() on Apollo
- Autoconf tests for sys/shm.h & sys/ipc.h needed for Apollo
to avoid to use SvsV shared mem in BSD compile environment
- New Schily SING include file mmapdefs.h
- Now prints a hint about cdrecord-ProDVD if cdrecord encounters
a DVD-R drive but there is no DVD-R support compiled in.
- Reverse security counter (before burning) now shows the right time.
- Fixed a bug in modes.c that caused cdrecord to remain silent if
a mode sende failed.
Cdda2wav:
- CD-Text disabled for SONY CD-RW CRX100E 1.0
This has been done from the hint of an owner and looks
questionable.
- Support for TOC of DVD-audio (M/S/F overflow).
- Added new mmap() definitions for Apollo to make it compile
Readcd:
- compiles again on K&R compilers
- readcd now by defult truncates the output file
- New option -notrunc to get the old behaviour
- Avoid core dumps from division by zero if read time == 0
- split read_capacity() into read_capacity() and print_capacity()
to make finally sure that readcd will not print to stdout
Scgcheck:
- New program to validate libscg interface
Please test your OS for conformance.
Mkisofs:
- Fixed a bug with graft dirs
-graft-points will now correctly work with filenames that have all
'=' chars escaped.
- Patch from James Pearson: discard Newline in list files only if really
present.
- add a warning when Joliet extensions are used without Rock Ridge
- Man Page corrected regarding CDextra & -graft-points
- According to a report, Cygwin-1.x translates filenames to ISO-8859-x
mkisofs now also defaults to iso8859-1 mapping on Cygwin-1.x instead
of "cp437"
- New option -no-pad
- Now default to create padding on the ISO output image
- Disabled old (Eric style) UNIX backup special handling of
the characters '#' and '~'. This code created completely
unreadable ISO images with an endless directory loop.
- Print an easy to parse string to stdout when called with
-print-size
Now the following simple shell script will work:
cdblocks=` mkisofs -print-size ... 2>/dev/null `
mkisofs ... | cdrecord ... tsize=${cdblocks}s -
- mkisofs now also compiles without -DUSE_LIBSCG
- Include File structure completely rewritten.
The old portability code from Eric now has been completely removed
and replaced by reusable code snipplets in suportable incude files.
This makes portability finally clean and is needed to add largefile
support in the near future.
- More flexible options for rationalized id's/permissions
from "E. Jay Berkenbilt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Specifically, the following options have been added:
-uid specifies the uid of the owner of all files
-gid specifies the gid of the owner of all files
-file-mode specifies the mode for files
-dir-mode specifies the mode for directories
-new-dir-mode specifies the mode for directories "invented" by mkisofs
Modes are given in the usual format as octal numbers.
Each of the -uid, -gid, -file-mode, and -dir-mode options imply Rock
Ridge extensions. It works to use them with -R, -r, or neither.
- libhfs_iso now corrected a comparison between unsigned and < 0
- libhfs_iso now sets the HFS fileattributes ro read olny
Thanks to James Pearson.
- Support for Apple character codings. Thanks to James Pearson.
- Man Page rewritten to make the problem with code sets easier
to understand. Note that most of the problems with
character codings would not be present if Microsoft
would not use UTF-16 Unicode coding which does not
comply to POSIX
- -quiet now makes mkisofs really quiet.
- make libfile a cleaner library
- Changed option parsing to allow EBCDIC commandline codes
- Change from a hint according to James Pearson to make --xinet option work
- libfile now should compile on AIX & Apollo Domain OS
- Fixed a bug triggered by adding Sparc boot.
This caused a endless loop if padding was specified (which
is now default).
The code from Eric did not support to install an output
filter (like the pad filter) more than once.
- libfile has been converted to use the portabel Schily SING
include file concept
- libfile now uses a new file utimdefs.h for utime() definitions
This was needed to support Apollo Domain/OD
- Fixed a bug with mkisofs .... -- -filename
Thanks to Jonas Munsin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Introduced a workaround for a problem with mkisofs running on Cygwin.
Thanks to a hint (from Jakob B�hm [EMAIL PROTECTED]) that helped to
find the workaround for the problem with wrong file content.
If there were many files ( > ~4000 ) in the tree that should go to CD,
one or two file contained the wrong content. It turnes out that this is
caused by the fact that Microsoft is not POSIX and does not have
unique inode numbers for each file.
The workaround introduces two new options:
-cache-inodes (default on UNIX)
-no-cache-inodes (default on Cygwin)
- New options -hfs-unlock/-hfs-bless from James Pearson
used to help people who like to mount R/W and modify HFS partitions
created by mkisofs.
- New option -check-session as a high level option for
mkisofs -check-ondnames -C0,0 -M
- ISO-9660 naming routine fixed. It did not handle filenames correctly that
ended with a '.'.
- mkisofs now correctly checks for the presence or Rock Ridge attributes
when doing multi-session (SUSP record in '.' entry for root).
- New Option -force-rr to overwrite automatic RR recognition.
- isoinfo program now checks for Joliet and Rock Ridge when called
with -d option.
- isoinfo now checks for High Sierra Filesystems too.
- New README.joliet
- Added Copyright notice to Appl ID
- Make warning nonfatal (no call to exit())
- Trying to make associated files behave better in multi-session mode
- From a hint from James Pearson
make insert_file_entry() failure non fatal in mkisofs main code
TODO:
- read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task:
Peter Berendi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> announced that he likes
to be the volounteer for this task.
Unfortunately, I did no hear again from him, but I got
a proposal from
"Krisztian Gede" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
who also likes to do the job.
Note that this can never 100% correctly as there is no relation
between the names on the master filesystem, the ISO-9660 names
and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are untranslated
with respect to the origina files on the master filesystem.
- implement Yellow book compliant XA extended dir attributes
- add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.
- add UDF support
