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". I added the line to
fstab but sort of forgot something else. This is one of my blonde
moments here, not blonde but anyway. I forgot to make the mount
point, you know, the hdd directory in /media. < Dale slaps forehead >
AFAIK this might cause problems if you use auto-mounting software and
forget to disable it before writing.
The proof is in the puddin tho:

That's a BIG file. 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.
Well, it seems tar can not handle 4.7Gb files any way. I'm not sure why
but it seems happy with 2.2Gb files. Anybody know about the upper
limits on tar?
Also, is there a incremental GUI back-ip tool? I found reoback but
haven't tried it yet. I like Kbackup but it is all or nothing.
