-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi.
Having fun with DVD-RAM. Well, no, it's not fun. Disk errors. Lost files. It's also mind-bendingly SLOW! But slow would be something I'd put up with, if it weren't for the disk errors. Obviously, I bought bad disks. Oh well, I've only lost a few old photographs and one unimportant backup file from 2001, however DVD-RAM was touted to me as "archival" quality. Blah. This was an interesting error during my efforts: ===== # fsck /dev/sr0 fsck from util-linux-ng 2.17.2 fsck: fsck.udf: not found fsck: Error 2 while executing fsck.udf for /dev/sr0 ===== Is there a way to do a file system check on a UDF disk? Next, while I realize that UDF "spreads the writes around" and makes the disks last longer, I am using them for long-term archive rather than something like a daily backup. Is there a reason anyone can think of for not reformatting in ext2 or some other "fsck-able" format? (I know not to use a journaling file system, because of the myriad rewrites of the journal itself) Curt- - -- Those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBTQ+Voy9Y35yItIgBAQKu3Qf8CqcEzHMgp/PFZN7D+7S8nlHYWBarVCkg /L3lyIlEQnkqkiy5ucl5nnUVmFcFcZZ/Xhk84xHsJwSwzvXv9/HHE10Y5Ym+I+1A 7eCeXuSdFaP+ekkwzyvrxWNLojfWSDWTR/nsHqzO8B17c6WhbvNWN124P4VUCqz4 nr1tBmZkZPed/gteVZumYQgedsM0JEWlRXkpqaEY2MSMII3FAbnLyYiTY/9FR2i+ OZbnlL+dilIcOCyx40biDFsF0ByHiAPvllFFhEofIQ5u22+TLBTgNStCmRXAWNfU I6c7ba2WgjQiex/jrMe+1I1d2pAM0bt5fZ5flgWt8adzpozPp5qeQA== =uRFd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
