Interesting. Is there a way, independent of YaST to do a m5sum check on mounted optical media?
Several... for instance:
md5sum /dev/dvd
Yast doesn't do a md5sum, by the way. Or not that simple.
YaST uses /usr/bin/checkmedia, which indeed uses md5sum. In /usr/share/doc/packages/checkmedia/README you can find the differences between checkmedia and a plain md5sum (basically, the 'real' md5sum is stored there, but checkmedia reads it as 0 for the purposes of calculating the checksum, then goes back and compares with the value actually stored there to see if it is correct) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
