I know for me the background format is definately complete.... and the dd thingy doesnt help.
Out of curiosity, are you using a newer +R compatible drive, or the older +RW only drive? (As far as I know, their all rebranded Ricoh drives)
Latest firmware?
Ben
I'm using a Sony DRU-120A. As far as i know its a new device (Just bought it new off of googlegear.com last month) It reads and writes DVD +R.
As far as the firmware, how would i check it? hdparm or soemthing (Cant test it right now cause its sitting at home :)
You should get the revision from BIOS when booting or with "hdparm -I /dev/hdX".
With Sony you have a firmware-problem. They do not provide new ones. Only registered dealers of Sony do the updates, which are free while warranty and are to be paid after warranty is over. You need to send in your writer for some days or weeks (That's why I won't buy Sony again).

I understand I may have a firmware problem if the bios is old, and now I understand that i cant update it, but per my previous post, I'm not even aware if its actually possible to create a udf filesystem on a dvd rw then mount it read write in linux. If it is, I'll persue the bios update farther. Wayde
