Well, I don't have a Blu-ray disc to look at but I'll google around and see what I can find. There has to be Linux user out there somewhere that has documented doing this. I don't know how many millions of us there is but surely one has burned a disc that plays in a Blu-ray player. 5 years. I rotate at least once a year, sometimes twice. Shouldn't be a problem. Plus, it's just a additional backup measure. Oh, for those who recall the hard drive thread and the PMR and SMR discussion. I found out my 6TB drive that is part of /home is a PMR drive. That's why I haven't noticed any issues when I thought it was a SMR drive. So, I only need to replace the 3TB drive with a larger 6 or 8TB drive. Then I'll have either 12TBs or 14TBs of drive space for /home. I plan to use the removed 3TB and another drive that I think is 3TB as well as backup measures, kept outside the home of course. Maybe be building a NAS thingy at some point. I want TV speakers first. Dale :-) :-)
