Hello everybody, as DVD-Ram Media is the most reliable optical media in the DVD area, I would like to use it. I aked myself can Bacula use DVD-RAM? I read parts of the manual and found only things regarding DVD+-R(W), which need a special treatment due to mounting, burning and so on ....
But DVD-RAM could be used like a harddrive, just put in the DVD-RAM and use e.g. /dev/hda as device, but then Bacula have to check if the media is full. Otherwise you could create udf 2.01 on the DVD and mount it, but then you don't need a special writing tool like "dvd-handler" From Bacula. Another Problem could be that kernels lower (strictly) 2.6.22 cannot create files larger than 1 GB on an DVD-RAM with udf, so back to direct writing on the DVD-RAM without filesystem .... ? I don't know if one could just use the tapedrive drivers for dvd-ram, as I don't know if the ioctl's are the same or so. As I don't have a clue about all of this, this might sound all stupid, but please enlighten me :-) mfg Eric -- Das Briefgeheimnis sowie das Post- und Fernmeldegeheimnis sind unverletzlich.
