growisofs ejects when finished
I am using growisofs to backup to DVD. Whenever growisofs finishes
writing, it ejects the DVD. At that point, the DVD is obviously no longer mounted. I would like for the DVD to remain mounted so that subsequent backups don't cost one mount (since, as I recall, each mount counts as a write). Is there a way to do that with growisofs? Should I use another program instead to write to DVD? (I'm using DVD+RW, but my drive supports DVD-RW also.) -- Jeffrey Barish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Read the growisofs documentation (man growisofs).
What about www.google.com? -- Jan Minar "Please don't CC me, I'm subscribed." x 7 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE/9mL1+uczK20Fa5cRAl57AKCYB5hnIjvIAUdvxepXCTdFzy+Ghw CgvZsx d2h4a8t5PWr7rT27RGDZjQQ= =3Gyi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |

Hmm, was the (presumably blank) disk mounted to begin with? I would rather doubt it...
I doubt very much that this is the case... You have to mount the disc to read it, if dvd+rw has a fixed limit on the number of times you can read the data, it would have gone the way of divx I use growisofs for backing up a lot of static data and have had no problems with it. -- Mark Roach -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Yes, it was mounted. growisofs objects if I try using it with a disc
that is not mounted. The disc was not blank to begin with, but I use the -Z option. Not a fixed limit, the disc just gets worn out. And it's not a limit on the number of times one can read it, it's a limit on the number of times one can rewrite it. It works for me too, I just wish it wouldn't eject when it finishes. -- Jeffrey Barish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
