 Posted: Sat Nov 11, 2006 10:16 am Post subject: writing DVD-RAM with Samsung SH-S162A |
 |
|
I recently decided to get serious about backup, and figured DVD-RAM would be the way to go.
Unfortunately, I am running into some stumbleing blocks.
| Code: | $ dvd+rw-format /dev/dvdrw -format=full
* DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 6.1.
* 4.6GB DVD-RAM media detected.
* formatting 0.0-:-( unable to START UNIT: Input/output error
:-[ FORMAT UNIT failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=01h]: Resource temporarily unavailable |
Here output from the same command run as root:
| Code: | # dvd+rw-format /dev/dvdrw -format=full
* DVD±RW/-RAM format utility by <appro@fy.chalmers.se>, version 6.1.
* 4.6GB DVD-RAM media detected.
* formatting 97.0% |
And regardless whether I run the following command as root or as a normal user, I get the same output:
| Code: | # mke2fs -m 0 /dev/dvdrw
mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006)
/dev/dvdrw is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
/dev/dvdrw: Read-only file system while setting up superblock |
Here some additional info:
| Code: | $ dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/dvdrw

Are you sure your burner supports DVD-RAM? I have the Samsung SH-W162C, which has this in the doco...
Note
- Does not support DVD-R for Authoring, DVD-RAM
I think that means it doesn't support DVD-RAM. |

| Hmm... maybe you could try to wipe your dvd-ram with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/dvdrw" and then try mkfs.ext2 on that? |

--- Edited post to put in info about result from dd and dvd+rw-mediainfo run ---
Have the same problem. Didnt see your thread and started another one, sorry.
I will report any findings. It would be great if it was able to search the forums for exact matches so "DVD-RAM" don't turn into "DVD" + "RAM". (Maybe there is a way but I don't know how?)
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3737250.html#3737250
PS. And... maybe one day Google will start supporting wildcards like '?' and '*'.  |
