>BTW: why do you like to use cdrskin although cdrecord works for you? The more option I have the better. ie: - BD-RE media: cdrskin can format it (when media is new/maiden), and has an option (not default) to write BD-RE in a "quick" mode (don't recall technical name, I think it's "streaming", it avoids defect management, I always do md5sum checks anyway) even if BD-RE is formatted with spare/defect management area. So writing with cdrskin takes half the time of cdrecord, basically it burns at the nominal speed of BD-RE media. - sometime cdrecord fails and cdrskin will succeed, I can't give you many details, this is a log from last night backup on one of my systems (it's not totally uptodate, so both cdrecord and cdrskin are not the latest versions) I understand you'll rightly say it's a Linux issue, but I'm not a programmer and cannot do anything to force Linux people to make things the right way, I just need the best chance for the backup to complete ok. 13/07/2008 02:31:19 scsidev: '4,0,0' scsibus: 4 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 SCSI buffer size: 64512 Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a38 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2008 Jörg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM Using libscg version 'schily-0.9'.
