Corrupted files udf/ext2

Hallo, [was thread: readerror, no access rights] i made some more trys, copying the linux2.4.18 source-tree (about 140MB) using packetwriting to cdrw. Kernel 2.4.19-pre10 with packet 2.4.19-4, TEAC-Writer W524E IDE, used with SCSI-Device-Emulation. Write cache is disabled in the kernel. I used the same cdrw, reformatting it accordingly to ext2 and udf. I copied 2times to ext2 and 2times to udf, each after a fresh format of the cdrw. After writing to cdrw i copied back the date with cp -a to harddisk, and then made a diff from this copy on hd to the original. With ext2: No diffs in both copys With udf: diffs in both copys, but not in the same files. The number of different files was about 15 to 20. So in the moment i believe, the problem is not in packetwriting, but in udf-format. Would it be possible, to try other formats, like dos-fat, on cdrw? BTW: We had this in the other thread: CDRW's with ext2 can't be read in my Cdrom (Toshiba 6402B). Is that a problem of this drive? Greetings-- Email:KOALASOFT@GMX.DE

Weird message from pktcdvd
by Stephen Mollett 22 Jun '02

22 Jun '02

I've just seen a weird message in my dmesg output, from pktcdvd, after doing pktsetup -d /dev/pktcdvd0. It seems to suggest that either something (possibly pktcdvd itself) is doing odd things with kernel memory, or pktcdvd is using the wrong part of memory for something, which is a little worrying to say the least: pktcdvd: writer 4low01.htm;q1=12;q2=25;q3=51;q7=130;q8=138;sz=728x90;ord=1024685104153_62e96565 unregistered I'm pretty certain my memory is OK; I ran Memtest86 3.0 on it not so long ago and the full test found no errors in 3 passes. (System essentials which seem relevant to this issue - Athlon 1333, AMD761/VIA686, 256MB DDR266 RAM, Adaptec 2940AU SCSI HBA, Yamaha CRW4416S SCSI CDRW) Stephen

Message from the admin

Hi List, Just wanted to let you know that we are experimenting with some SPAM filtering on this list. If your mail server is listed in relays.ordb.org or relays.osirusoft.com then you will no longer be able to post to this list. The reason that it's only with packet-writing is that all of our other lists are closed to non-subscribers. I think everyone will be happy about this but if not please let ml-admin(a)suse.com know. Cheers, -- -ckm

lite on LTR 32123S
by kenneth peerless 20 Jun '02

20 Jun '02

Does anybody have any experience running the LITE ON LTR-32123S cd rw. I live in a small town and my local computer store only has this burner in stock. I can't seem to find out if its supported in linux. I'm running suse 8.0 pro on an epox mb with a 800 duron and 384 megs of ram. If nobody has experience with this burner are there any suggestions on a good (inexpensive) rewriting cd burner in the list. thanks in advance kp

EIDE Rewritable 12x or 10x Drives?
by Fritz Lnes 19 Jun '02

19 Jun '02

Greetings - I am currently trying to find out information on EIDE CD-RW drives with a 10x or 12x rewritable speed, and their compatibility with the packet-writing module. I have attempted a TEAC drive but had horrible luck. I am currently looking at a few models - Sony (CRX195A1), ASUS (CRW-1610A), Mitsumi (CR-480ATE or CR-485CTE) and Lite-On (LTR-24102B or LTR-48125W). Are there any recommendations on these or any other drive that would fit these criteria? Any help you can give me would be GREATLY appreciated, including recommendations of other reasonably speedy drives I'd be able to find at a local CompUSA. I don't want to have to try out and return every drive in the store. Please send any replies to the list - I think others would benefit from this, and I don't check my mail that often. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com

Re: ReadError "No accessrights" as root!

Hallo Rene Bartsch , [corrupted files] > Is that depending on the packet-writing module or on the file-system? i don't know. I assume, Peter thinks there is something in the packet- modul. On my first trys i get corrupted files on cdrw on both filesystems, ext2 and udf. But on my last 2 trys (now with kernel 2.4.19-pre10), with ext2 i get no diffs compared cdrw to original, but using udf there were diffs. I used the same cdrw for all tests, reformatting between each test with mkudffs and mke2fs. > safety system. Would it help to use ext2/3 instead of UDF? don't ask me:-). I'm trying as you are. But my backups in the moment i make using the iso-filesystem on cdrw with xcdroast or k3b. Greetings-- Email:KOALASOFT@GMX.DE

ReadError "No accessrights" as root!
by koalasoft＠gmx.de 16 Jun '02

16 Jun '02

Hallo, Kernel 2.4.18 original, patched with packet2.4.18_patch, udftools 1.0.0.2b, IDE-Writer Teac 524E, Caching enabled in Kernel: I tried to use packetwriting for transporting data from one pc to another on CDRW. Now on 2 different RW's, containing the same data, i get an "access denied" message on some files and directories, when trying to see them with mc or ls (means, this files/dirs aren't to see, i see only the err-mess) - also when logged in as root. I think, this points to defect writing. Could that be because write caching enabled? Greetings-- Email:KOALASOFT@GMX.DE
