Subject: [9fans] cdfs(4) multi-track DVDs
Date: Fri, 22 May 2009 20:24:57 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <509071940905221724q271f9806s9fd79795fd10247f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
cdfs(4) contains a paragraph in BUGS that reads:
Closing a just-written DVD-R track can take minutes while
the drive burns the unused part of the track reservation
(for the whole disc). Thus only a single DVD-R track can be
written on a DVD-R disc; use other media if you need more
than one track per disc.
i know the array of media is confusing, but should i read this to imply that
DVD+R media are expected to support multi-track writes? i just did
something more or less like:
for (i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
{venti/rdarena /dev/fs/arenas arenas0.$i > /mnt/cd/wd/$i}
the results were not what i had expected: i got d000, which looked
correct, and d001 which, upon cursory examination, looked like the
concatenation of arenas 1-7. am i just SOL with multi-track DVDs?
i hate this optical format nonsense.
