As you can see formatting with cdrwtool takes about 20 minutes and not finished (CDRW LED backs to normal light (yellow); cdrwtool stop responding and lock the CDRW drive).
On reboot i also have see next messages on screen (interrupt loss):
Jan 23 15:30:22 my kernel: hdc: lost interrupt Jan 23 15:31:03 my last message repeated 4 times Jan 23 15:32:04 my last message repeated 6 times ....
A wild guess. If DMA is enabled on the CDRW, maybe turning it off will help: hdparm -d 0 /dev/hdc
After reboot Windows DirectCD (Linux can't process disk) recognize filesystem disk of CDRW disk as .. CDFS.
What does this mean? Was the disc correctly formatted even though cdrwtool hang?
I don't wanna use Windows anymore to format CDRW disk .. but inspite of that DirectCD support for my drive is too expensive (~200 Mbytes)
Are you referring to the fact that UDF formatted discs can not hold as much data as ISO9660 discs? This is true for linux as well.
this program has stability and usability features (for example quick disk UDF formatting takes ~ 3 minutes).
Does anyone know how the quick formatting in DirectCD works? Will a quick-formatted disc work with the current linux packet writing module, or is special support needed?
P.S. I attach kernel configuration file.
You have scsi emulation compiled as a module, but don't use it in the above example. I think someone reported that his problems were solved when he started to use scsi emulation. -- Peter Osterlund - petero2@telia.com http://w1.894.telia.com/~u89404340
