I have a question/problem, and I can't seem to find a way around it. I'm hoping someone here may have either run into it and solved it or shed some light as to what is causing the failure. Test Bed: 1) Red Hat 7.2, stock 2.4.7-10 kernel, but recompiled for UDF Read support 2) UDF formatted CDROM, created in a Win32 environment with Roxio's Direct CD. Two sessions were created, and both left open. 3) Parallel port adaptic cdrw burner Good News: When inserted the UDF cds can be mounted and viewed, all sessions included. mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /mnt/my_mount_here/ Problem: Issuing the 'dd' command fails when trying to image these CDs. Can anyone point to why dd would fail? Is this a driver issue somewhere? Is there something I have missed? I don't have the error in front of me at the moment and I apologize for that. I will have access to that later and have it available. In the interim, has anyone successfully used dd to copy a UDF cdrom? thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
