Re: minimum valid block size on DVD-RAM
On 07/01/2008, Martin Laabs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I'm investigating a problem concerning the minimum valid block size accepted by DVD (writing) devices when writing on a DVD-RAM. (Please don't mix DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD-RAM up here.) My motivation for this is the handbook chapter 18.7.9 that describes how to format a DVD-RAM. All listed commands works on a blocksize of 512 byte. This does not work for me on an 'Optiarc DVD RW AD-7170A/1.02' device since it refuse every operation with a blocksize unequal to a multiple of 2048 bytes. The actual inherent (physical) block-/sector size on a DVD-RAM is, like on nearly all other DVDs and CDs, realy 2048 byte so the behaviour of my device makes sense to me. (How should it write a quarter sector?) Now Marc Fonvieille let me know that the instructions in the handbook has been submitted by a DVD-RAM user. This means that these instruction works at least at one system. I'd now like to know whether most of the available DVD-writers are capable of writing blocks smaller than 2k. If not it would be worth investigating an alternativ instruction set. (But this is not as simple as it seems because newfs seems to have a bug with the -S option and also bsdlabel works as default on 512 byte blocks) Since I don't have access to different DVD-writers I can't test their behaviour regarding the minimum accepted block size. Therefore I'd like to ask you for a little test with your DVD-RAM enabled DVD-writer. 1. Insert a DVD-RAM (not DVD-R or DVD-RW!) 2. run 'dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1' (please adjust - if necessary - the device name) 3. run 'dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null bs=2048 count=1' (please adjust - if necessary - the device name) Please report me whether command 3 and command 2 succeed and also if command 3 succeed and command 2 fails. The first case would mean that your dvd-write is capable of reading blocks smaller that 2048 bytes which would be very surprising for me If you have an empty DVD-RAM (or an DVD-RAM with un- important data) I'd pleased if you could also try a writing test. 1. Insert a DVD-RAM (Remark: *it will be deleted*) 2. run 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 bs=512 count=1' (please adjust - if necessary - the device name) 3. run 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 count=1' (please adjust - if necessary - the device name) Please report me whether command 3 and command 2 succeed ans also if command 3 succeed and command 2 fails. The first would mean that your dvd-write is capable of writing blocks with 512 bytes. That would mean that the instruction set of the handbook works for you. My output of the reading an writing test is the following: Reading: # dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 dd: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000196 secs (0 bytes/sec) # dd if=/dev/acd0 of=/dev/null bs=2048 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 2048 bytes transferred in 1.886969 secs (1085 bytes/sec) Writing: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 bs=512 count=1 dd: /dev/acd0: Invalid argument 1+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes transferred in 0.000205 secs (0 bytes/sec) # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/acd0 bs=2048 count=1 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 2048 bytes transferred in 0.001600 secs (1280169 bytes/sec) You see that my device accept read and writes with a blocksize (or a multiple of a blocksize) of 2048 bytes only. I can not test now, but everything I had seen previously when looking to use DVD-RAM for a live system instead of using hard drive, plus cheaper easier to backup/replace, points to having a block size of 2048 bytes, even Vista it is the only option and is the default. it works for me perfectly for over a year on a firewall file server, only thing I changed was the default block/frag size for UFS2 to 8096/1024.

Do you know if it can be a problem with the theme, karamba or some kernel configuration?? http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html - look under Useful Links header. Thanks for any help. p.s. I would like to know where the theme scripts are installed? probably in ~/.kde so typing in find ~/.kde -iname glass* might give some hint as to where may be. -- Kimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Ports maintainer or adopting a port
Hello list Not sure if this is appropriate for this list, basically I am looking to hear from past, current and future ports maintainers: is it fun? what are the requirements? (besides time) what does it mean to you? do you recommend it? best way to get started? what do I need to know about FreeBSD Ports? I am looking at adopting a port or two and looking to gain more insight, maybe someone that can do projects page for ports? which holds a list of unmaintained ports?? -- Kimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
hacking /boot dir
Hi list, I am currently messing around with one of my /boot directories and would like to create a custom menu. Q1, is there a way to create a ficl binary from /sys/boot ? Q2, is it okay to have one /boot directory shared between CURRENT and RELENG_X ? Q3, other then learning Forth, any tips? I was hacking away at beastie.4th but everytime I create a new menu entry and disable another one, the loader either panics or has BTX crash. so having a ficl binary can make life just a little easier I think. ps. please CC me -- Kimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
FreeBSD/Xen
Hello I noticed Kip Macy has recently annouced a new commiter to src, is this any indication that FreeBSD/Xen is closer to reality? will it be available around 6.0-RELEASE? -- Kimi ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
