| |
Hello.
I am trying to format the CD-RW disc on my NEC ND-3520A DVD writer, and the results are completely unexpected: I do cdrwtool -d /dev/cdrom -q It proceeds with the formatting, but while it does so, the system is pretty much dead. It can do some trivial tasks like the console switching, but as soon as it comes to any disc I/O, the processes are hanging. After the formatting is done, the system is back alive. That reminds me formatting the floppies under DOS in those ancient times, with the only difference that formatting a floppy takes ~2 minutes, while formatting a CD-RW takes ~20 minutes, which is not good at all. Is this something known or a bug? I tried that on a 2.6.11-rc3-mm2 and on a 2.6.12-rc1 kernels.
Also, is there any way to use the packet writing with the CD-R/DVD-R discs, or is it supposed to work only with the -RW discs?
