PLEASE NOTE! Given the
responses I've got after 6.0 release message apparently reached rather
far. This makes me hope that this message will reach out too. I'm
truly sorry, but unfortunately I don't have time to answer individual
questions already discussed on dvd+rw-tools pages or on the list,
discussed explicitly or implicitly. Turn to your Linux vendor or a
community forum for support! Personally I recommend <cdwrite@other.debian.org>
list. I apologize in advance that discussions on this list tend to
derail in rather "spectacular" ways, but it's in subscribers' power to
create the atmosphere, not mine. On additional note I'd recommend to
keep in mind that when it comes to particular media brand support, it's
your unit firmware that plays the key role, rather than recording
application. In other words, do take time to actually test another
media brand with your unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE for 6.0 users! Newer Linux
kernels have ridiculously low default memorylocked resource limit,
which prevents privileged users from starting growisofs 6.0 with
"unable to anonymously mmap 33554432: Resource temporarily unavailable"
error message. Next version will naturally have workaround coded in, but
meanwhile you have to issue following command at command prompt prior
starting growisofs:
if you run C-like shell, issue 'limit memorylocked
unlimited';
if you run Bourne-like shell, issue 'ulimit -l unlimited';
IMPORTANT NOTE for 5.19 users! A bug was
introduced in version 5.19, which manifests itself by inability to
finalize recording, it takes forever to "flush cache." Apply hotfix or download patched tar-ball. If you
have suffered from this bug and have non-finalized DVD±R media,
you can use this snippet to "revive" it.
DVD+RW media can be "finalized" with dvd+rw-format
-lead-out.
