DVD 1:1 Copy SCO
Guten Tag, wir haben SCO-Unix im Einsatz und dort einen DVD-Writer/ReWriter eingebaut. Welche Möglichkeit habe ich, eine DVD 1:1 bootfähig zu copieren? Das Programm "cdrecord" ist vorhanden und funktioniert tadellos - wir verwenden es u.a zur Datensicherung. -- Viele Grüße / Best regards Klaus Schönenberg # NEU: DSL für Lohmar und den Rhein-Siegkreis # TSI Turbo Speed Internet: www.rs-breitband.de # Schönenberg-Computer GmbH - www.lohmar.com # Music-Download - www.worldmusicsounds.de # Lohmar-Online - www.lohmar-online.de # KunstconText - www.kunstcontext.de # Der Löhmer - www.der-loehmer.de # Artistica - www.artistica.de # AFRICA-Iwalewa - www.weltmusik.de # FORUM-Lohmar - www.forum-lohmar.de # Vorsicht Kultur - www.kulturenderwelt.de # Global Music Shop - www.globalmusicshop.de # The World is Music !

It seems that you missd the fact that it has been introduced 2 weeks before cdrtools-2.01-final came out and people on LKML did complain that I did not cause cdrtools to become unstable from introducing untested code. Announced (in case of an incompatible change) means: - prominent developers of code that uses the interface that is to be changed need to be informed a sufficent time _before_ the incompatible change is applied. In general, it would make Linux a mature project if such changes would be discussed for being reasonable with other people ( e.g. with experienced programmers like me).

Well, the dependency is pretty clear, cdrecord doesn't have a say as to what the kernel does or leaves. It's not like a newly released kernel would run instantly on 50% of the Linux systems, it usually takes a few month until it hits the distributions. > Announced (in case of an incompatible change) means: > > - prominent developers of code that uses the interface that is to > be changed need to be informed a sufficent time _before_ the > incompatible change is applied. You're asking too much here. At the time the change was introduced, all that was needed was adding /dev/hd* to the scan list and the LF_ATA workaround (BTW, you still haven't explained what LF_ATA inside libscg is good for, I asked many days ago). > In general, it would make Linux a mature project if such changes would be > discussed for being reasonable with other people ( e.g. with experienced > programmers like me). It's good that you only attribute "experienced" and not other adjectives to yourself here. One might otherwise get the idea you were boasting with the scarcely documented code... -- Matthias Andree -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

If "prominent" developer need close interaction with the kernel, they might be well advised in reading LKML regularly. There was for sure a longe time frame between proposal and actual introduction than 2 weeks. > In general, it would make Linux a mature project if such changes would be Well, mature enough for enough companies to use it. And mature enough to have enough "experienced" programmers. You are not the only one.

This was not a change made because it would be nice, it was made because it became public information that anyone who could burn could change the firmware. Security fixes sometime do have to be done quickly, evil people do tend to jump on any opening in the time between a vulnerability becoming public and being fixed. You are an experienced programmer, you are aware that sometimes a quick fix needs to be made and tuned after the fact. Now if you and the udev floks and the Fedora folks could just get together and address USB attached burners not working, it would be really nice. That is, decide who can fix it most easily instead of who can be blamed for something done with good intentions. -- bill davidsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> CTO TMR Associates, Inc Doing interesting things with small computers since 1979 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I did try it recently with creating a SchilliX ISO image (~ 2 files 700 MB) and it did not help.

I am looking since quite a while for the particular and substantial security problems which one is said to have if one allows w-access to a CD/DVD writer. By help of your name and some keywords from above i googled into a thread at the kernel mailing list. Nevertheless the threads and subtreads in the archives are a bit manifold ... sigh. Could you please answer me the following questions resp. point me to some comprehensive answers : - Is there other stuff at risk besides my 60 Euro burner ? Is system security in general threatened by the extreme example chmod a+rw /dev/hdc (resp. /dev/sg0 with 2.4 ide-scsi) - What was the worst threat which could be identified through that discussion ? - If i am willing to risk my burner's health (which i do with any physical tray load, actually) what would you advise me to do: - run a self written setuid-root or sudo program on restrictive rights - allow generous access to /dev/hdc and use neither setuid nor sudo I have to amend that i am experienced but not in the sense as Joerg or kernel programmers. I know my limits and am not 100% sure wether i could make a program that is setuid-safe. Nevertheless if chmod a+w is globally deadly, then i will hardly have a choice but to try. This topic affects users of growisofs too, i guess. At least i run my growisofs that style. (No hostile users expected ... but one never knoes.) Thanks in advance for any information.

Problems burning DVD-RW on Plextor PX-716a
Hi! I'm new to this list so sorry if this quesiton was already raised(I've search archive but didn't find an answer please point me if I overlook it). I had PX-716a drive and got a problem with writing DVD-RW disks, new disks are burning without any issues, but if you try to rewrite it, k3b prompt me to format it, but even after this it doens't accept disk. I've tried two different brands and has same problem. DVD+RW burning without any issues. I had DVD+RW-Tools-6.1 installed along with latest cdrecord and k3b(other GUIs won't rewrite DVD-RW disks as well). When I try to burn such DVD K3b "Found DVD-RW Sequential medial in PLEXTOR-DVDR PX-716A. Should it be formatted?" Does anyone could advice me where this problem come from and how it could be resolved?
