Subject: Heads-up: dvd+rw-tools in SFW
If you don't burn DVDs, you can ignore this message
My putback of:
PSARC/2005/606 dvd+rw-tools
6346516 add dvd+rw-tools (PSARC/2005/606)
added another DVD burner to Solaris which seems to work
quite well with USB and 1394 burners
(cdrw is only recommended for on-board burners and cdrecord
cannot handle > 2GB images)).
For more info on dvd+rw-tools:
http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/
you can get the packages from /ws/sfwnv-gate/packages/i386/nightly-nd
or /ws/sfwnv-gate/packages/sparc/nightly-nd
SUNWdvdrw - growisofs, dvd+rw-booktype, dvd+rw-mediainfo
dvd+rw-format, dvd-ram-control
SUNWdvdrwS - source package
SUNWsfman - man pages
There is only a man page for growisofs unfortunately.
Work has started to get the nautilus CD burner working which uses
cdrecord and growisofs as backends.
The easiest way to burn a Solaris DVD is:
# rmformat
<find your dvd burner, eg c2t0d0p0>
# growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/rdsk/c2t0d0p0=solarisdvd-iso
yes, growisofs works with vold (/vol nodes).
You can verify the DVD as follows (thanks to juergen keil who posted
this recently):
( eject optical media after writing, re-insert media [so that Solaris
notices the new content on the optical media] )
# dd if=/vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0 bs=32k | cmp - solarisdvd-iso
"cmp" should find no differences, and no errors should be logged to
the console or /var/adm/messages.
If you've burned CD-{R,RW} media, you can also try a "readcd -c2scan"
test on the media. The readcd utility is part of the cdrecord
package (also on sfw).
The 32k is important because on ferrari, we limit transfers to 32k
I burned using growisofs a b27a DVD with an Addonics DVD RW
USB2.0 burner connected to my ferrari, then rebooted from the
DVD and installed on a USB2.0 Maxtor OneTouch drive
Amazingly, it wasn't even that slow (one hour) and it rebooted
flawlessly from the OneTouch disk.
You can file bugs under solaris/utility/dvd+rw-tools.
