Default hi

@TerryP

it looks like i ran into a few problems.
i have no more room to dump and backup my data.
or i may be able to squeeze a little more.

i seen a few sites about the errors i was getting on writing to dvdrw.
a few ubuntu people solved the problem although i am using solaris.
some of the commands were similar.

i know my Dvd writer works fine for writing dvds on Solaris
heres what i get when i try it on a dvd rw

First of all i do not see a Disk show up on my desktop if its empty.
so i am not even sure if it mounts when its empty.

When i use a blank DVDR disk i get a prompt asking me what i want to do
but i get no prompt at all with a DVD+RW disk

OK i have a blank DVD+RW in here now




code:

cdrecord -v test-file


# cdrecord -v test-file

i hope i can solve the problem for now writing to DVD+RW

i do not want to take any chances with Stored Data i have right now
So ill stay with Solaris as my Desktop for the time being

And since BSD is my Server on my other box i can still work with both
i should have listened to lvlamb about reading more before moving on.
but i wanted to see for myself.




Anyone have any ideas at all?
