Actually if you don't care about the GUI and compatibility with other systems, you can do DVD burning with growisofs only (without mkisofs/genisoimage respectively from cdrtools or cdrkit). > I also noticed something else that was "funny".

Now I want a blue ray thingy. o_O Then I can > make HUGE files. lol The good part is that you don't need isofs for DVDs. Actually you don't need any fs at all. You could write files like this: growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=Test-_2008.07.04-10.06.53_1.tar Unfortunately I have I/O errors (ruined media) often with this method, so I use: tar cp path/to/files | \ pipebench -q -b 50000000 | \ growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=/dev/fd/0 "pipebench" is in portage and provides two important advantages: - you can check the speed and make adjustments it if necessary - you can adjust the buffer (-b) To restore the files from the above backup: tar xpf /dev/dvd It works perfectly for me. You can burn this way images with your preferred FS. -- Best regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
