similar to: OT: cheap DVD-RAM media?

I have an NEC DVD-RW ND2500A (that's not the label I bought it under, but that's what it really is.) It's supposed to read/write CDs, DVDs, DVD+Rs, and DVD-Rs. I'm basically dual booting between XP and CentOS 4. Following the recipe in "The Linux Cookbook", I tried to copy a DVD using: dd if=/dev/hdd of=/tmp/diskfile.iso then cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd fs=32m

Hi there. I am unsuccessfully trying to write a data DVD on FreeBSD 4.8. The writer is a Sony DVD RW DRU-500A on IDE. I'm using the atapicam driver. The media is a Sony DVD+RW which arrived with the writer. Both with cdrecord ProDVD (from the ports or otherwise) and dvdrtools I get a general SCSI retryable error message, when trying to write a data track or blank a DVD. I have no

I'm trying to use DVD-RW ("minus RW") disks in my LG GSA-4040B drive. I can write a new disk just fine, but can't find any way to blank or re-use a disk. When I run xcdroast and click on the "Blank CD/DVD+-RW" button, I get "Error while blanking." Here is last part of the dialog: Using generic SCSI-3/mmc DVD-R(W) driver (mmc_mdvd) Driver flags

The intent of commit 199f218bf431b77c12a728f7072bed1553a0f0af seems praiseworthy, but since 'all-am' is automatically added by Automake as a prerequisite of the 'install' target, its effect is to stop people running 'make install' as root: make install-am make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/libguestfs/x86_64-spindle/src' make -C ../generator stamp-generator make[3]:

I thought it would be the same with real hard drive (about > 20MB/s). Is this using 'guestmount --live'? Unfortunately FUSE is inefficient, particularly the way we implement it in

Hello All, I''ve run into an issue where an array that''s being passed into a defined type is being "flattened" when it''s inclosed in double quotes and I''m not sure how to get around this. This is happening a the pdxcat/amanda module and I''ve raised an github issues for this but wanted to query the community as a whole. The issue and my branch

I've found discussion about this in list archives, but no final answers. Many helpfull people wrote in the past how to avoid creating DVD (install from network, install from disk, boot this way, boot that way). But, I do need DVD, no way around it. No network, no USB, no floppy, no anything. Placing files on hard drive not an option. Just a DVD-ROM. By Googling around, I found some

Dear List, We have noticed a variety of reproducible conditions working with sparse files on multiple servers under load with CentOS 6.4. The short story is that processes that read / write sparse files with large "holes" can generate an IO storm. Oddly, this only happens with holes and not with the sections of the files that contain data. We have seen extremely high IO load for

First Post! Sorry, I had to get that out of the way to break the ice... I was wondering if it makes sense to zone ZFS pools by disk slice, and if it makes a difference with RAIDZ. As I''m sure we''re all aware, the end of a drive is half as fast as the beginning ([i]where the zoning stipulates that the physical outside is the beginning and going towards the spindle increases hex

Hi all, I have a dataset consisting of 5 columns and over 5000 rows. Each row gives information about an individual animal, including longevity, i.e. at what age an animal died. For the model I use I need to create n rows for each animal, n being its longevity, and a new column 'survival' with a binary 0/1 outcome. When an animal died e.g. at age 5, there have to be 5 rows of identical

Hi Everyone, We are thinking of venturing into the world of hosting Windows DomUs on our Xen infrastructure. As Windows generally requires a lot more IOPS than Linux does, we are trying to do everything we can to improve performance. While using SSDs would solve the IOPS problem, SSDs suffer from limited write cycles. So, we have the idea of using Flashcache from Facebook to use a single SSD as

Hi, Out of pure curiosity, I was wondering, what would happen if one tries to use a regular 7200RPM (or 10K) drive as slog or L2ARC (or both)? I know these are designed with SSDs in mind, and I know it''s possible to use anything you want as cache. So would ZFS benefit from it? Would it be the same? Would it slow down? I guess it would slow things down, because it would be trying to

Paul, I wholly agree with what you're saying - I too ensure that we have at the very minimum, a set of full spares. However, this thread really has the wrong name at this point... We're now looking at embedded solutions, in the same way Cisco has with it's ICS 7750 solution. I'm looking to build a robust embedded solution, that we can run in tandem - of course, we want to

Hello I'm trying to make survival curves for some longevity data - 100 males and 100 females, some of which are still living (not dead at the end of survey) I would like to make sex specific survival curves as time on the X axis, proportion alive on the Y, and a line for each sex (two lines) Data looks like this: Focal DOB DOD Longevity Sex 1 89-04-20 na

Hello, When approaching hosting providers for services, the first question many of them asked us was about the amount of IOPS the disk system should support. While we stress-tested our service, we recorded between 4000 and 6000 "merged io operations per second" as seen in "iostat -x" and collectd (varies between the different components of the system, we have a few such

Is there any real advantage to using 64 bit when I am right at the 4gb ram threshhold? Nice plans to add more ram. The machine will just be a backup machie (rsync). Thanks in advance. D

Has anyone here had any luck using a CF to SATA adapter? I''ve just tried an Addonics ADSACFW CF to SATA adaptor with an 8GB card that I wanted to use for a boot pool and even though the BIOS reports the disk, Solaris B95 (or the installer) doesn''t see it. I might give the IDE version a go (I really wanted hoT-plug), otherwise I''ll be able to store a couple of thousand

I need a low monthly rate DID in Panama. Maybe 2-3 inbound calls a day max. 1-2 outbound calls a day only. Will be rarely used but needs to be very good quality and needs longevity of business (eg this number is going into print so company needs to be around for a while). Please email with rates and details. Cheers, Dean -------------- next part -------------- An HTML
