Hi all,

I was wondering has anyone else problems with DVD-RW disks under Fedora
as I do? I've got a dual-boot laptop and with WinXP DVD±RW disks work
(read/write/erase) all ok. But with Fedora only DVD+RW are fully
working, DVD-RW disks can be read but erase fails.

So am I the only one with this problem or is this a more general issue?

I've filed a bug report about this few months ago but got no reply:

Thanks!

Find out your device name
   cdrecord --devices
Erase the media
   wodim -v -force /dev/name -blank=fast

do 'man wodim' for more details.
