Guys, I've got several directories off ~kline/ that I want to
store permanently. Like all my development code in ~/devel, and
all my music mp3's and ogg's in ~/Music, and all my online and
mp3 books from libribox.org in ~/readings. There are PDF files
and HTML and a slew of other stuff.
man mkisofs
man growisofs
that's all.
mkisofs creates ISO image
growisofs records DVD
you can make growisofs run mkisofs in-flight so no image file has to be
made.
either a few CD's or one DVD? Right now, I'm cross-backing up
it's best NOT to use "GUI" interfaces for this. as always - doing it from
command line is much easier when you learn.
and - you ARE NOT forced to use ISO-9660 filesystem.
in unix recorded DVD is just readonly disk, you can use any filesystem it
supports.
if you do this often and your DVD's don't need to be windoze-readable
(which could be adventage sometimes) then:
- create partitions of exactly 9180416 sectors (which is 2295104 2K
sectors - exactly DVD size)
- use newfs to create partition. for best results use options
newfs -m 0 -b 32768 -f 4096 -i 524288
note that -i specify how much bytes is available per inode. more
given=less inodes created and less space wasted, but you may run out of
inodes storing small files.
this example allows you to store about 8900 files.
- mount it and record what you like as usual
- unmount and use growisofs to record a disc.
use that disc with
mount -r /dev/cd0 /mountpoint
