I heard of better NOT to use DVDRAN as a harddisk, since it has a limited lifetime (limited write cycles) and "normal" filesystems" does not care about how often a certain block is written to. You can kill a DVDRAM simply by writing too often to its organisation data strukture without notice. mount a dvdram "normal" and will be killed by simply accessing its files via update to the access time data in the inode. All this results in my initial posting. > Meino Christian Cramer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > I would be very happy for any hint for the correct handling of > > DVDRAMs. I am using Linux Kernel 2.6.17.3 (vanilla source). > > Just use DVDRAM as though it is a removable hard disk.
