Gee, it isn't hard to put cdrecord into Google...
Sites move, and then you get a 404. That's the nature of the Web...
You don't even specify the version number.
I run cdrecord (2.01) just fine on Linux kernel 2.6.10 with 48x CD-Rs.

how to use growisofs to merge (-M) on the fly ?

2005-01-20 Thread Joachim Braun
Hi,
I want to use growisofs to burn a premastered iso boot image, with a rescue 
system
on it which contains scripts to dump or rebuild the machine to a earlier dumped 
State.

growisofs -speed=1 -Z /dev/dvd=rescue.iso

the next step is, to dump the disk's or partitions (at the moment to a nfs 
mounted disk):

dd if=/dev/disk | gzip -9 > /nfs-mount/disk.dd.gz

after this has finished the file is written to th dvd:

growisofs -speed=1 -M -J -R /dev/dvd /nfs-mount/

I'v made several tries to write on the fly (without the file on the nfs-mounted 
filesystem)
via named pipes but did not hav any succes.

the man page of growisofs contains a sample for initial writing throu a pipe, 
but this
works only for preformatted (iso) images or parts of a mounted filesystem.

i tried using named pipes but i got only the directory entry of the pipe to dvd:

mkfifo /tmp/pipe.dd.gz
dd -if /dev/disk | gzip -9 > /tmp/pipe.dd.gz &
growisofs -M -J -R /dev/dvd /tmp/pipe.dd.gz
rm /tmp/pipe.dd.gz


any ideas ??

Re: *nix flash utility for BTC DVD recorders

2004-04-30 Thread Joachim Feise
Thank you for this.
I always booted from a DOS floppy to flash my BTC drive.
While that wasn't too bad, the DOS sw only supports IDE,
and I run my drive through an IDE-SCSI bridge on my
SCSI controller...
I'll try your program when I'm back from vacation...

And then, in the features list, any DVD burning capabilities were

When I started burning, cdrecord said, that the device was not ready, if
I remember right.

Meanwhile, I have flashed the drive to firmware HSOP (unfortunately only
a Windows flash software is available from LiteOn).

With the cdrecord-ProDVD 2.01a27, the "Device type: Removable
CD-ROM" info is still the same, but burning works fine nevertheless!

By the way, Mr Schilling, thanks very much for this excellent software!

Problems with Linux 2.6.3 and growisofs

2004-02-19 Thread Joachim Feise
Hi,

I am using Linux kernel 2.6.3 and was running into some serious
problem with growisofs (may also happen with cdrecord-prodvd,
but I haven't tested that):
My DVD-drive (BTC1004) is connected via an IDE-to-SCSI bridge
to an Adaptec 29160.
Whenever I try to access the drive with growisofs, the whole system
hangs indefinitely.
I assume that it is a kernel issue, since it didn't happen with
2.6.2, but I just like to know if somebody else has experienced
this problem.

The drive that I just got a week ago from TigerDirect is a

So if you can, try and check the id string before you buy.
I hate it when the product changes without warning (and I/O Magic

Yeah, I can use the media just fine, I was basically just wondering what

Yeah, I can use the media just fine, I was basically just wondering what
caused the error message. I guess I see if the manufacturer has a
firmware update...

Hi, Ashish,

why not mounting the iso image via loop device? Then you have access to
any file operations and commands you need. In script mode too, sure!

Do I need to fixate?

2003-09-22 Thread Joachim Backes
Hi,

I have 2 questions:

1. when burning iso images to CD's, do I need fixate the CD
   or not (-fix or -nofix)?

2. Does the fixating need some space on the target, and if yes, how much?

Its really a RedHat 9 man problem: using

 man -t cdrecord  

produces a correct PS file containg the  w h o l e  man page, but 

man cdrecord

inside of a xterm or gnome-terminal or (KDE) konsole stops on the "µ" char.

readcd, some issues and questions

2000-10-17 Thread Joachim Backes

Hi, 

i have some issues and proposals for the readcd command:

1a.Would it be possible to synchronize the man page of readcd
   with the -help options? In the man page, not all readcd
   options are described (no -help, nor f=, for example).

1b.What is the starting sector number? 0 or 1?

2. I use readcd for copying self burned cd's where the problem
   of the last 2 (or more) sectors arizes.

   Some new options introduced into readcd would be be helpful:

   a) A new option which says: stop reading if the last 2 sectors
  (or more) cannot be read, but exit normally without error msg,
 
  or

   b) A new option to readcd which only outputs the sector
  number of the cd, so that the usage of readcd within
  shell or PERL scripts could be simplified!
  For the moment, for getting the sector number of a cd,
  I call in Perl:

my $sectors = (split / +/,`readcd dev=... f=/dev/null sectors=0-0 
2>/dev/null`)[1];

  And a shell script will be more complicated to get the appropriate info.

  or

   c) An option (-sb) for example which tells readcd that the source
  is a burned cd.

Opinions on this issue?

Regards 

Joachim Backes

Reading CD image

2000-10-15 Thread Joachim Backes

Hi,

I have a question: If I read a CD image, I use the following command:

dd if=/dev/scd0 of=

I know, there is the "readcd" command. In which cases should I use
the readcd command instead of dd? Or should I avoid principally
the usage of the dd command? The usage of dd is a lot faster then
the usage of readcd.

Cdrtools-1.9

2000-08-08 Thread Joachim Backes

Hi,

I have another problem with mkisofs when using the "graft-points" option:

my mkisofs command is:

mkisofs -graft-points -o /tmp/x //opt/schily=/opt/schily

This cmd generates correctly a filesystem in /tmp/x, but when
mounting /tmp/x as loop device on /some-mount-point, then
"ls -lR /some-mount-point" only shows an empty filesystem.

All OK, if I use:

mkisofs -graft-points -o /tmp/x /opt/schily=/opt/schily

(no double slash!).

I had not this problem when using cdrtool-1.8.

Cdrtools-1.9

2000-08-08 Thread Joachim Backes

Hi,

I have problems to use mkisofs when using the "graft-points" option:
My aim is to make an image of the directory /xxx/yyy and the file named a=b.

my mkisofs command is:

mkisofs -graft-points xxx/yyy=/xxx/yyy 'a\=b'

mkisofs is rejected by: Invalid node - a\=b

I am not sure whether I understood the usage of escaping the = character
correctly, but I am sure that mkisofs gets the string "a\=b" as the second
filename.

How to escape correctly? (I use RedHat 6.1 as OS).

Regards
