CD-Rec... Help.... =)
Hi. I have the SPARC Station 20 with Solaris 2.5.1. I need install CD writing program to that SPARC. As a writing device i use TEAC CDW 512SB, and program cdrecord-2.0 for writing. Solaris identifies this device and even lets read the information from this device. Entering (Stop+A)the PROM the command probe-scsi is answering positively. So, it means the divice is connected and alive. But there is a problem. Program cdrecord-2.0 doesn't find this device, though CDROM (TEAC CDW 512SB) is indicated as a supported device. I wonted that the problem is? And help me if it's possible. P.S. TEAC CDW 512SB it is installed as external. P.S.S. Sorry for my English... =) -- , Yours faithfully, The chief of a system department .. Fateev A.A.

growisofs minus_rw_quickgrow question
Hello, I was trying to write arbitrary files to DVD-RW using growisofs. When I use dumpsomething | growisofs -use-the-force-luke=seek:N -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/fd/0, the DVD can not be play back. I think it was because the media wasn't closed, but I don't know how to set quickgrown=1 to active Close session cmd in minus_rw_finalize. So, I checked the minus_rw_quickgrow function, and get confused. Can Andy or anyone please explain how can type ==2 be true when format was not initialized? type = format[4+4]3 If I just add quickgrown=1, what will happen?

occasional problem formatting/rewriting DVD+RW disk with Sony DRU530A burner.
I have 2 DVD burners on the same machine, the SONY DRU530A (primary) and the SONY 510A (slave). I have no problem burning DVD+R and DVD+RW using DRU510A. I have occasional problem formatting and rewriting data (use -Z option) on DVD+RW disks using the DRU530A. The problem only happens with the DVD+RW disks. I have no problem formatting a virgin DVD+RW disk the first time using DRU530A. The problem occurs when rewriting data (or ISO image) the second time or after with different size of data from the previous one. The message on the terminal shows that it keeps the 0% (data written) for a while and frozen at the step of de-icing (I have to turn off PC machine and reboot after). It also fails to reformat the disk when this problem occurs. However, I can reformat the same disk using the SONY DRU510A. I notice that the 2 machine firmware format the DVD+RW disks differently. The DRU530A formats very fast. I don't even see the % of disk formatted. When I check (run dv+rw-format without the -force option), the DRU530A only format a disk to 0.1% of capacity while the DRU510A formats to 11% of disk capacity. Any idea about this problem?
