Description of problem: "dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/dvd" does not work (at least for already formatted DVD+RWs, haven't tested with blanks) even though this option is documented in the usage summary. [andre@compaq-pc ~]$ dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/dvd * BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro.se>, version 7.1. * 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected. - unimplemented command-line option for this media. - you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with: -lead-out to elicit lead-out relocation for better DVD-ROM compatibility, data is not affected; -force to enforce new format (not recommended) and wipe the data. [andre@compaq-pc ~]$ From the usage summary: [andre@compaq-pc ~]$ dvd+rw-format * BD/DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro.se>, version 7.1. - usage: dvd+rw-format [-force[=full]] [-lead-out|-blank[=full]] [-ssa[=none|default|max|XXXm]] /dev/dvd [andre@compaq-pc ~]$ Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dvd+rw-tools-7.1-3.fc11 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take an already partially formatted DVD+RW disc. 2. Attempt to do a full format with the command dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/dvd Actual results: Fails with above error message. Expected results: Should run or at least acknowledge that the usage is documented as the usage summary shows.
Just verified that issue also exists in Rawhide. Bumping Version to rawhide.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Full format is not implemented only for DVD+RW and DVD+RW Double Layer (other media are supported). And there is a meaningful message ("unimplemented command-line option for this media"), so this is not a bug for me.
