All,
I've installed a Lite-on DVDRW LDW-451S into a Redhat Linux 9 server,
wanting to use mondoarchive to back it up. I can back up the server
beautifully to a dvd+rw once. After that, it won't blank the dvd.
If I manually go in and run the blank, I get this:
[root at orion root]# dvd+rw-format -blank /dev/scd0
* DVD±RW format utility by <appro at fy.chalmers.se>, version 4.9.
* 4.7GB DVD+RW media detected.
- illegal command-line option for this media.
- you have the option to re-run dvd+rw-format with:
-lead-out to elicit lead-out relocation for better
DVD-ROM compatibility, data is not affected;
-force to enforce new format (not recommended)
and wipe the data.
I've installed:
dvdrecord-0.1.2-10
dvd+rw-tools-5.19.4.9.7-0.pm.2
kernel-2.4.20-31.9smp
I don't know what else to try...
Ben
