Although you are definitely not a fan of Linux 
cdrecord builds and works fine here.

MANY THANKS !

P.S. It seems to be a great pity that your expertise cannot be used to
 improve the Linux kernel - probably because of some 'communication
 problems' as Linus would called it.

 This should do the trick, right?


This should test readability all right. 

If you've still the original data around you just burned compare them:

diff -r /original/dir /cd/mountpoint

How is cdrecord-ProDVD different from plain vanilla cdrecord?

-   It is able to write data CD's in RAW mode because it includes a very fast
ECC/EDC lib.

-   It allows to do clone writing to copy any single session disk.

-   It includes a DVD recording driver.

Re: Performance problem with 16x audio burns in Linux

2002-03-12 Thread Joerg Schilling

From: Anssi Saari [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have a performance problem writing audio discs at 16x in Linux. Cdrecord
1.11a17 can just barely keep its fifo filled during the burn, mostly. Data
burns are not a problem, 12x audio burns are also not a problem, or
it seems I have barely enough horsepower to manage that, but burning
from mp3s with on the fly decoding again has performance problems. Same
problem happens when burning video-CDs with cdrdao 1.1.5, 12x fine, 16x
problems. Top doesn't show any application taking very much CPU.

So you did not enable DMA.

You cannot write faster then 12x without DMA.

Try increasing the fifo size to 16m or so (-fs=16m).  You may also
want to see if you can find a firmware upgrade for the CD-R drive.

Also running cdrecord at nice --19 (i.e., -19, not +19) or so will
help.  You have to do that as root, though.

YOu can avoid to give wring advice when you read the cdreecord 
man page before sending mail

Is there a simple way to check an ISO image for consistency? To check

Mount it with the loopback device (fbk on solaris ??) and check the

 I can mount ISO image even if it's not complete. I can do 'du' or 'ls'
 anywhere on the image... So I need to do more, something like:
 
 cd /image_mountpoint ; tar czf - . | tar tzvf -
 
 This should do the trick, right?

I guess you could use checksums, but I've done the following, although 
it's tedious:

mount -t iso9660 -o loop /tmp/some.iso /tmpmnt

cd /mnt/cdrom # original disk iso was created from

for fn in $(find . -print); do

cmp $fn /tmpmnt/$fn  /dev/null || print $fn invalid
done

 
   Thanks, D.

Hey, it works for me.  His (and your) mileage may vary.  (He mentioned
in his email that DMA was enabled, so clearly your advice was no better...)

(And for the record, your man page says to use al least nice --18 on
systems that don't have UNIX International compliant realtime
scheduling.  I haven't read POSIX.4 or this UNIX International spec
lately so I can't say if Linux 2.4.1X has it.)

Oh, I did typo the fs argument, as there's no dash.  Mea maxima culpa.

Sorry, but this is rubbish!

READ THE MAN page..


cdrecord by default runs with much much higher pri than -19.
