[root@ksi4 /root]# mkudffs /dev/cdrom trying to change type of multiple extents
nope. didn't work either. then, i try to blank the cd out by executing the dd command: [root@ksi4 /root]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=2295104 dd: /dev/cdrom: Read-only file system
You need the DVD+RW patch (http://fy.chalmers.se/~appro/linux/DVD+RW/linux-2.4.patch)
Ah!!!! there we go!
And unless your planning on using CDRW's as well, you shouldn't need the pktcdvd patch. (and they could very well conflict)
ok, i won't.
Looking at the patch, I can't tell whether it works with ide-cd directly. My guess would be no...
ok, so now, i've finally been able to do the dd stuff: [root@ksi4 /root]# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=2295104 it's taking a looooong time... does dd default to speed=1x? it seems like i'm back where i was on friday.. phew.. what a day.. :) thanks a lot, ben! when this is done, i'll try to write to the disk and see what happens, so i'll be back in a little while.. cheers, gustavo -- guStaSo ZaeRa | Software Engineer BRE Systems LLC. 1532 State Street Suite C Santa Barbara, Ca 93101 gzaera@bresystems.com http://www.bresystems.com "My goal is to make any information available from anywhere, at anytime."
