[Bug 362540] New: please provide means for self-contained external medium check
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=362540 Summary: please provide means for self-contained external medium check Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: bluedzins@wp.pl QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- ( external -- from already running system ) When I burn the disc from the ISO file it is possible it is correct, because I have file, I have disk, I have md5sum. But what can I do if the disc was copied from my friend, and I have only disc. Several ideas: a) put the md5sum file for each file of the disc b) put the iso file size -- it is enough to read the data from the disc and computer md5sum (and then compare it to the md5sum from the net) c) it would be perfect -- compute md5sum file "in reverse" so you could put the it itself on the disc, however I guess it is technically impossible Anyway, the point is, I would like to have a disc copied from disc (no iso file around) and then type mount /media/dvd /media/dvd/check-medium which at best would display "disc is (not) ok", at worst "the md5sum for the disc is.....". -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

We won't put any of that on the CD - because if the CD is broken, there is little point in mounting it.
So...? If you can't mount it than CD is broken. If you can mount it it is not the proof the CD IS NOT broken. So there is still need to check it.
You can either use /usr/bin/checkmedia or the media check yast module.
..using Slackware, RedHat, Mandriva, you name it? I still think the method of self-checking "envelope" is a good idea, but... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
