Only for DVD-R[W] written with write type DAO and even that depends

Only DAO respects your wish if you send smaller chunks.

Useless use of dd. head -c will perform as well, without the need for

An average DVD+RW can be read at about 10 MB/s average speed.
That would be about 7 minutes.

I used

The man page for rsync suggested that it could do it faster.
Can it?
If so, what is correct syntax to get the same result as

Normally, the command works fine except when (partition b) already
