The recent Toshiba DVD-RAM thread reminds me that I need to ask about a problem I had with my toshiba dvd ram. I'm using ext2 filesystems on my dvdrams. It seems that small transfers work fine, and reads work fine, however when someone tries to copy a large amount of data to the dvdram the machine works fine for awhile, but the load average gets higher and higher until the machine becomes unresponsive. A few times the machine has come back, if I recall correctly, but this has made the dvdram pretty useless for the reason we got it (backup). I'm running SuSE-8.1. I've been meaning to sic vmstat on it, but haven't gotten around to it yet, as I'd have to install the dvdram again. Has anyone else had similar problems with dvdrams? Any solutions? Thanks -Ben
