DVD Writing
I am running Fedora Core 1 and trying to automate (CRON) a system backup routine writing to DVD +RW. I've loaded the current DVD+RW-TOOLS package from Redhat and am using: growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom -r -J mytarfile.tar to write the required tar to the DVD. All works fine from the command line but running under cron the command fails as it finds an existing ISO9660 file system and wont automatically overwrite it. I think I can get round the problem by doing: dvd+rw-tools -f /dev/cdrom before the growisofs command but I've read that multiple formats of DVD+RW is not recommended. Is there a better way to solve this problem or is the formatting solution OK ? Thanks, Mark. ___ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Volume sets can be comprised of up to 32767 volumes, probably more than enough for your largest directory :-) -- Larry Kilgallen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
