Description of problem:
When trying to write a DVD with growisofs I get an error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rw-tools-6.1-4.1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -V backup -r .
  
Actual results:
[root@cyberelk backup-Lx7364]# du -sh .
1.9G    .
[root@cyberelk backup-Lx7364]# growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -V backup -r .
:-( unable to anonymously mmap 16777216: Resource temporarily unavailable

Additional info:
Worked fine in FC5.  Using the growisofs binary from FC5 works fine too.

Comment 1 Harald Hoyer 2006-10-23 14:46:51 UTC
Try:
$ ulimit -l unlimited          

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2006-10-23 15:09:24 UTC
'ulimit -l unlimited' as root does work around the problem, yes (thanks!).  So
growisofs just needs to have a better fallback than just erroring out..

Comment 3 Harald Hoyer 2006-10-23 15:40:11 UTC
yep... will update

Comment 4 Travis Kirton 2006-10-26 07:33:10 UTC
Didn't work for me.  Have the same error message on mine as well.  Version from
FC5 works perfectly...version from FC6 gives me:

:-( unable to anonymously mmap 33554432:  Resource temporarily unavailable

ulimit -l unlimited doesn't work for me...still get the error above.

Comment 6 Martin 2007-03-09 17:04:08 UTC
a solution for me was to increase the buffersize of growisofs with:
-use-the-force-luke=bufsize:16m

or in k3b under settings - configure k3b - Advanced
- Manual writing buffer size: 16MB
