Checking burned image is ok
Hi there, I am looking for a way to check I did burn my debian installer iso properly. I am trying: $ cmp /dev/cdrom debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso This works on CD-RW, but it fails on CD-R with the following: cmp: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error Has anyone seen this before ? How else could I check the CD-R is actually properly burned ? Thanks ! -- Mathieu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

IIRC, Debian installer provides a check media CD option, so you can use that. I am trying: $ cmp /dev/cdrom debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso This works on CD-RW, but it fails on CD-R with the following: cmp: /dev/cdrom: Input/output error Has anyone seen this before ? How else could I check the CD-R is actually properly burned ? I think you could just: cd /media/cdrom md5sum -c md5sum.txt Also, it seems to be a checkiso script that can be useful for this task. http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/index.en.html#verify Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi! try it with md5sum: $ md5sum debian-505-powerpc-netinst.iso $ dd /dev/cdrom bs=$blocksize count=$blockcount conv=notrunc,noerror | md5sum The variable, $blocksize, $bolkcount, depend of the CD or DVD, to get this info: $ isoinfo -d -i /dev/cdrom the result must be the same.

How else could I check the CD-R is actually properly burned ? Thanks ! Others have posted regarding using check sums. The advantage to using 'cmp' is you get a byte by byte, exact match check. If that's what you want or need, use Cesar Garcia's suggestion to get the parameters of your CD image and use dd to read the disk, only instead of piping the output to md5sum, do this: dd | cmp - debian.iso which compares the stdin from dd with the file. This will avoid the error you noted above. The problem with using cmp directly on the device has to do with how the device driver handles what would be considered EOF. All that happened in your cmp run was an attempt to read beyond the end of the device. Unless 'cmp' produced a files differ: byte , line yyy type of message, the 'cmp' actually succeeded in properly comparing the two images. -- Bob McGowan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
