Found a small kernel patch for the sr module that enables you to simply cat or dd an image to the DVD+RW drive. It applies cleanly w/fuzz to the 2.4.18-X kernels and seems to work just fine. Also includes userspace tools to format DVD+RW disks (does not require kernel patch) and Location is: http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/ This is still the case with (null). Kernel patch not required. Userland tools work without kernel modification now, same URL. Hi Chris, I'd just like to verify what you're asking for here as I've just been assigned this package. You're wanting the DVD+RW tools at the above URL to be added to the distribution? Yes, if they pass technical muster. DVD+RW drives are not compatible with dvdrecord, cdrecord or cdrdao for writing DVD+R or DVD+RW disks (they work fine with them for burning standard CD's). I have had no trouble with writing DVD+RW disks using these userland tools. The kernel patch is not needed, but with it it is possible to simply 'dd' a DVD iso to the drive and it will write. That funcionality is accomplished using growisofs in userland, and seems a better move. I had made a simple RPM of these for my own use (on my ftp://people page) but I have not checked for updates since then. The author of the code I packaged wrote me to say he has updated the code, and created a (hopefully) proper Makefile and .spec file and it is available on his website noted above. He would be really happy if Red Hat picked up his project and made it a part of the distribution. assigning to master of os-develdept :) FYI- since my lst update, support was added to dvd+rw-tools for DVD-RW and DVD-R in addition to DVD+RW and DVD+R. A src.rpm and i386.rpm of his latest code (as of Feb.28,2003) is available on my people page. ftp://people.redhat.com/ckloiber/dvd+rw-tools-5.2.4.1.4/ included in RHEL 3 and Fedora Core 1 |
