Done now

It is, my growisofs reports:
# growisofs -version
* growisofs by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, version 6.1.1,
front-ending to mkisofs: mkisofs 2.01.01a03-unofficial-iconv
(i686-pc-linux-gnu)
Nicolas' patch contains:
printf ("* %.*sgrowisofs by <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,"\
- - " version 6.1,\n",(int)(s-(cmd)),(cmd)); \
+ " version 6.1.1,\n",(
So 6.1.1 is the patched version. It also reported the free space
correctly before, only Bacula stopped writting after about 490MB for
some reason (looked like it got a short write and concluded the medium
was full).

That one was missing (I had "Media Type = DVD" but not "Device Type"), I
added it now.

Done.
Here comes the backup...
10-Sep 15:02 shodan-dir: Start Backup JobId 3,
Job=shodan.2006-09-10_15.02.48
*m
10-Sep 15:02 shodan-sd: Volume "DVD-007" previously written, moving to
end of data.
10-Sep 15:02 shodan-sd: Ready to append to end of Volume "DVD-007"
part=2 size=5508717
10-Sep 15:13 shodan-sd: Part 2 (838809989 bytes) written to DVD.
10-Sep 15:13 shodan-sd: Remaining free space 3,850,338,304 on
"DVD-Writer" (/dev/hdd)
So either changing the device type or, more likely, switching of
spooling or the patch, fixed the problem with the DVD running full too
early.
I'll do some more testing when I have the time (especially with DVD-005
that won't let itself get relabelled).
Greetings,
Michel
