Hi Andy, > Could you test if format type 0x30 and subtype 0 works for your unit? A.
I did in dvd+rw-tools-7.1/dvd+rw-format.cpp : else if (mmc_profile==0x43) // BD-RE { cmd[0] = 0x04; // FORMAT UNIT cmd[1] = 0x11; // "FmtData"|"Format Code" cmd[5] = 0; formats[i+1] = 0x82; // "FOV"|"IMMED" if (full && (formats[i+4+4]>>2)!=0x31) formats[i+4+4] |= 2;// "Full Certificaton" else if ((formats[i+4+4]>>2)==0x30) formats[i+4+4] |= 3;// "Quick Certification" + + /* >>> Experiment for Andy : does sub type 0 work ? */ + if(formats[i+8] == 0xC3) + formats[i+8]= 0xC0; + fprintf(stderr, "\nCDB: %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X\n", + cmd[0], cmd[1], cmd[2], cmd[3], cmd[4], cmd[5]); + fprintf(stderr, "Format list: %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X %2.2X\n", + formats[i+ 0], formats[i+ 1], formats[i+ 2], formats[i+ 3], + formats[i+ 4], formats[i+ 5], formats[i+ 6], formats[i+ 7], + formats[i+ 8], formats[i+ 9], formats[i+10], formats[i+11]); + if ((err=cmd.transport(WRITE,formats+i,12))) sperror ("FORMAT UNIT",err), exit(1); The run lasted at most 5 seconds: $ ./dvd+rw-format -force /dev/sr1 * BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 7.1. * 24.2GB BD media detected. * formatting 0.0| CDB: 00 11 00 00 00 00 Format list: 00 82 00 08 00 B4 74 00 C0 00 00 00 / $ The media content appears unaltered. xorriso reports Media summary: 1 session, 11059045 data blocks, 21.1g data, 1498m free and its file comparer says Both file objects match as far as expectable.
