Blanking/Formating a BD-RE
Hi ! How can I format/blank a BD-RE so that it appears as new (never written) media ? I have tried with newest cdrecord version and dvd+rw- tools but I don't know how to format it. Hope someone can help me with my BD-RE problems. yours Arnold -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

BD-RE cannot ever be turned back into never written state.

They produce the wellknown interface of ./configure ; make ; make install configure.ac is understandable for package maintainers, if not for me. So they can tell me what i need to do there. For a similar reason i provide infrastructure for .so libraries although i personally avoid this architecture as good as i can. By principle, libburnia adapts to Linux, not vice versa. So does it really like to be something that does not follow the principles of OpenSource that are based on broad usability on as many platforms as possible? Linux is the most deviant platform for SCSI. If you adopt to Linux, you adopt to no real portability.

Hi, me: By principle, libburnia adapts to Linux, not vice versa. Joerg Schilling: OpenSource [...] Linux is the most deviant platform for SCSI. If you adopt to Linux, you adopt to no real portability. If it is for weight and quantity then OpenSource _is_ Linux. So any portability has to come after suitability for the full range of Linux systems. Having said this, believe me that i know how to produce portable code and how to handle portability problems if they arise. I am able to maintain CAD sources which run on Domain/IX, SunOS, IRIX, Slowlaris, HP-UX and even (spit spit) MS-Windows. More than a dozen POSIX systems. Now i challenge you to tell me how i shall handle generic transport of SCSI commands in a portable way. Where are the common standards for this ? Why aren't drive addresse schemes the same on any two different POSIX resp. X/Open systems ? There is no alternative to system specific adapter modules. Joerg, you may pretend that libburnia is not designed portably. As long as nobody wants it on any other system i can hardly prove the contrary. So let's for now divide the world into two halfs: We try to serve Linux, you serve the rest. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi! It is the first time I write to this list, so please let me introduce myself. I'm Vreixo Formoso, member of libburnia team an libisofs/libisoburn developer. Sorry for my bad english... --- Thomas Schmitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu: If you adopt to Linux, you adopt to no real portability. Seriously, as libisofs developer I have no real interest in protability. And not because I'm against it, just because I have no time nor resources to provide it. I use Linux. My target is Linux. If tomorrow somebody request me hi, Vreixo, I need a libisofs port to XXX. Can you help me?, then I will do the best of my effort to help that user. But surely that request will need to come together with a I can help you. Otherwise I prefer to waste my time in things much more interesting... I'm sure most of libisofs users prefer some new features before a port to a system none of them use. Cheers, Vreixo Abra sua conta no Yahoo!

If you warn all possible libisofs users about the fact that you are not interested in portability, there is no problem. We have a problem if projects that are indtneded to be _portable_ (like e.g. GNOME) start using non-portable libraries.

Re: Blanking/Formating a BD-RE
Hi, The only thing I want to have is that I cannot mount it anymore with the previous filesystem (all tracks should be removed). Tracks ? Plural ? On BD-RE ? From the specs i read that BD-RE is overwriteable media like DVD-RAM or DVD+RW. So the operating system does not see any tracks but a random access disk. It would therefore try to read the filesystem info from the default address on such disks. In case of a ISO 9660 filesystem this would be the blocks beginning with number 16 (= 32 kB). If your drive has address /dev/sr0 this command dd bs=2048 skip=16 count=1 if=/dev/sr0 | od -c | less will show the decisive line 000 001 C D 0 0 1 001 \0 If you overwrite the first 32 blocks by zeros then the media will surely not be recognized as mountable ISO filesystem. dd bs=2048 count=32 if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sr0 Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
