This is what I get:
2.6.8 to 2.6.10: about 30 min. I think that's clear now. I did not run
any mre test with that.
2.6.7 gives less than 10 minutes.
Reverse-Patched 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.10 about 9-11 min.
But what I think is interesting: Other than with 2.6.7, with my 2.6.10
the result seems to be highly dependent on other io activities. I came
to test that when I saw that writing to dvd-ram slowed down when reading
from a cdrom at the same time. System disk, cdrom and dvd-ram are
connected by buses as independent as possible: hda, hdd and scd0 via
on-chip ide2. hdc is inactive and spun down at the times of testing.
Some results (same command as yours, but writing to file only):
2.6.8.1 with vmscan-dont-reclaim-too-many-pages.patch
and vmscan-scan-sanity.patch reversed:
real9m17.389s
real10m11.271s
(run twice)
2.6.10, both patches reversed:
real10m26.374s
same kernel, some io and high (but niced) system load by reading from
hda and gzipping into /dev/null
real21m46.795s
same kernel, some io and low load by reading from cdrom (raw read with
dd as well) into /dev/null
real22m11.639s
2.6.7 vanilla, some io and low load by reading from cdrom (raw read with
dd as well) into /dev/null
real5m58.092
That's too fast - impossible on 3x media with verification. I'll check
that again. But it *really* seemed to be fast.
I also hat the impression that my tests with 2.6.10 and 2.6.8.1 were
much more promising when run from a rather basic testing system without
X, a bit closer to the 2.6.7 results. Haven't got time to check that
till monday. All the above results except the 2.6.7 are from Ubuntu
(Hoary) Systems with X and Gnome running.

Here are some numbers with my setup. I always wrote 1 GB of data to the
same DVD-RAM disc (EMTEC), to the device directly and to a fresh ext2
on
the disc.
kernel 2.6.10:
$ time { sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=64k count=16000 ; sync ; }
real32m5.025s
$ time {sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cdrom bs=64k count=16000 ; sync ;}
real29m41.980s
kernel 2.6.7:
$ time { sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=64k count=16000 ; sync ; }
real13m23.688s
$ time {sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cdrom bs=64k count=16000 ; sync ;}

Re: [Problem] slow write to dvd-ram since 2.6.7-bk8
Some new information: 2.6.7 is ok, 2.6.7-mm2 is not ok, 2.6.7 with just the linus-patch from mm2 is ok, 2.6.7 with linus.patch from mm3 isn't. So I took some of the patches from the broken-out mm2 and tested them seperately. The vmscan-dont-reclaim-too-many-pages.patch led to the said reduction of writing speed. I reverse-applied it to 2.6.8.1, where it seems to solve the problem. I also reverse-applied it to the current prepatched Ubuntu-2.6.10. It helped a bit there. Some new errors since 2.6.8, as it seems... getting depressing a bit, this whole thing. If you are using 2.6.7-mm1, there is another patch with even greater impact: abs-fix.patch. Take the same + abs-fix-fix.patch from mm2. If you might have a look at the vmscan-dont-reclaim-too-many-pages.patch from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.7/2.6.7-mm2/broken-out/, maybe you will find out something. Comparing the abs-fix patches from mm1 and mm2 might also help. This is all I can do for now.

Which -mm patch? If that patch contains the error, the bk8 contains it
as well and the bk7 doesn't, that might already make serching a bit
easier. Or maybe 2.6.6, if you want a stable release. Not tested yet.
>What kernels do you suggest me to test?
You might try the last working one, 2.6.7 with bk7. You might as well
have to replace the drivers/cdrom/cdrom.c with on from a later virsion
(>bk15), as the cdrom device is generally marked write-protected with
bk2 to bk14.
But instead of just trying those kernel versions, I think we might try
and find the changes that might have had the unfortunate side effect. I
am admittedly not too good at that, as I do not even know C (shame on
me).

[Problem] slow write to dvd-ram since 2.6.7-bk8
On recent kernels, writing to DVD-RAM is much slower than to be
expected. A 3x Writer should do about 1.9MB/s including automatic
verify. This is what I get with 2.6.7 up to bk7. However, from 2.6.7-bk8
to 2.6.10 write speed is as low as 600 to 1000 kB/s. The drive's head
jumps a lot more with these kernels. Reading is ok.
I tested UDF and ext2 filesystems,
DMA is ok according to hdparm,
I set taskfile-io on and off when building the kernels,
and I compared the settings for the io-scheduler.
The drive is connected via onboard via82xx ide or usb2 external (both
works perfectly with hd).
The drive is a LG GSA-4163B; a GSA-4120 had the same problem as far as I
remember.
Medium: Panasonic 3x
Could not find any kernel error messages.
For testing the 2.6.7-bk2 to bk14 I took the cdrom.c from bk15, as the
cdrom devices wer marked read-only without.
As I am not a programmer, I failed to track down the problem any
further, but I'll do my best if I get any hints or advice where to
search.

OK, I've asked this question four weeks in a row and received no response whatsoever.
Linux is supposed to be the OS where you can turn to the newsgroups/IRC and get able
help.
This is to those who couldn't lift a finger to help with this compile/driver problem:
Thanks for nothing, you arrogant snots. You don't know how much damage you do.

Only udf I could find that was compatible with kernel 2.4.2 was the udf-0.9.3 tarball.
It does have a 2.4 directory. I am restricted in which kernel I can use, as I must
have a patch for fibrechannel. My compile craps out with the listing below; I can't
make any sense out of it.
I have used Linux for several years as my firewall, and in December 2k I decided to
make it my workstation. Since that time I have worked on configuring it at least a
few hours each workday afternoon. (RedHat Fisher, then Wolverine) Now I am not a
dummy, but I'm not a coder either, and I have just not been able to get this system
running, and am now up against two problems I cannot solve: this DVDRAM | UDF issue
corrupting my disks (Why is udf-0.9.1 in Wolverine, wrecking my DVDRAM data? And how
can I install udf as a module when it's already in kernel?), and Wine setup. No one
has
answered my questions on the kernel IRCs nor Wine mailinglist -- they're fairly cross
with newbies who have actually read/followed the docs. Often when I ask a question I
get taken down like an elk by a lion. This isn't supposed to be natural selection
people. Supposed to =bring= ppl to Linux; don't they know the damage they do to
Linux by blowing off their steam? Most newbies won't slap them back down; they'll
just go away quietly & then put down Linux to others.
I haven't even yet gotten to learning/configuring Sane, LDAP, Postfix, IPTables, VPN,
nor intrusion detection, much less database & production functions.
I just don't know how I'm going to make this work =practically= as much as I want it;
RedHat just seems to require unlimited volumes of time. After months I am precisely
nowhere, and stuck with Windows, and discouraged; looks like I have at least another
year of =configuring= at this rate.

Re: write to dvd ram
OK, I've asked this question four weeks in a row and received no response whatsoever.
Linux is supposed to be the OS where you can turn to the newsgroups/IRC and get able
help.
This is to those who couldn't lift a finger to help with this compile/driver problem:
Thanks for nothing, you arrogant snots. You don't know how much damage you do.

Re: write to dvd ram
Many thanks Jim. Now at least I have a way. But I caution others that Linux modifies the UDF filesystem somehow, so that Winders can no longer understand it. I nearly lost all my music & photo archives to this. And attempts to rm or mv on a DVDRAM with UDF cause it to segfault & jam up. There doesn't seem to be an answer to this. (yes, I have written to the developer of cddriver; no response at all after two weeks) UDF2 is just nonfunctional in Linux and I don't know why. To recap: running Panasonic LF-D101 DVDRAM drive on SCSI (AHA2940) and getting segfaults. On-disk format is UDF2.0, as 2.1 won't mount. Mount, ls, umount, mount, ls, umount, etc - no problem except filestructure is now no longer available to Winders. (CAUTION! Save data using Linux for recovery in Winders) Mount, cp <20Mfile>, umount, mount, ls, (20Mfile), umount, mount, ls, (20Mfile), rpm -q 20Mfile, umount, etc - no problem except filestructure no longer available to Winders. Mount, rm <20Mfile>, Segmentation Fault, umount, (device busy), umount, (device busy), etc. Reboot without reset and bootup hangs at Running Linuxconf hooks. Reset & system boots fine. Mount, ls, (no files), umount, mount, ls, (no files), umount, etc. Running RedHat Wolverine with HelixGnome & Nautilus. -- C.
