I am setting up some systems using DVD-RAM for backup. I haven't had any
trouble yet, but your comments make me very nervous. Do you get I/O
errors? System problems? Corrupted backup media with no error detected?
Or is it just the samba problem that you already mentioned?
No corruption just it wouln't create the iso file of it wouldn't burn it
You could format the DVD-RAM as a UDF filesystem, and could then
write multiple files to it with tar, just like a hard drive.
How do I format DVD-RAM as UDF in Linux ?
I'll try to format it with Nero In-CD and will see if it works on Linux.
Try connecting the DVD to a separate controller (on motherboard or a
PCI card).
I will try that when I can get a new controler. actualy both primary and
secondary are hosting 2 HD for software RAID1 partitions
