Burned DVD cannot be mounted (DVD-R DL)

01d55 · 02-24-2006, 07:46 PM

In short, I burned two isos to a dvd, and the same drive that burned the dvd can't mount it. Is there something I can do to make the drive mount the dvd, or make the dvd more readable, or reuse the dvd in some other way?

Here is the terminal output from when I burned the DVD:

This is the error message from when I attempt to mount the dvd:

Code:

/dev/hdc: Invalid argument

Try again, this time use growisofs instead.

01d55 · 02-25-2006, 10:39 PM

Should I use the same disc, or another disc? Also, are there any options I should be sure to pass to growisofs?

Lenard · 02-26-2006, 09:39 AM

Is the DVD media RW?, if yes then use it.

As far as the options for growisofs to burn the 2 ISO files to the media try something along the lines of;

growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/hdc -joliet-long -max-iso9660-filenames -J -V -r -D <Path to files>

See 'man growisofs' minus the single quotemarks for the details and other options.

To burn the ISO image (sorry olny one per CD allowed) try something like;

growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=image.iso

My burner is /dev/hdc please adjust either command to match your actual hardware.

01d55 · 02-26-2006, 09:27 PM

The discs I have are Verbatim brand DVD-Recordable Dual Layer (DVD-R DL Ver3.0/2X-4X Rev.1.0) Because they're so big, I was hoping to make one install disc for Fedora Core for both 32 and 64 bit architectures (I've got a 64bit Athalon chip, and I'm currently running 32 bit RHEL 4)

Code:

$ growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=stentz-dvd-i386/FC4-i386-DVD.iso
:-( /dev/hdc: media is not recognized as recordable DVD: 10015

I also tried /dev/dvd and /dev/dvdwriter (both are symbolic links) and they gave the same error.

Lenard · 02-27-2006, 05:38 AM

Hmmm......

What does 'ls -l /dev/dvd' and 'ls -l /dev/dvdwriter' show (just wondering).

You should have seen something like (I'm overwriting a DVD+RW disc, the first four of the output are blanking the TOC);

$ growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=CentOS-42-DVD-x86_64.iso

If I got this right - you used the same DVD:

Quote:

The discs I have are Verbatim brand DVD-Recordable

in this case - you cannot reuse them - it's not a RW - the disc you already made ...it's gone and you need to use a fresh one

01d55 · 02-27-2006, 05:03 PM

I was attempting to use a fresh DVD, because I understood that DVD-R is not DVD-RW.

Code:

$ ls -l /dev/dvd /dev/dvdwriter
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Feb 27 11:16 /dev/dvd -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 3 Feb 27 11:16 /dev/dvdwriter -> hdc

Looking deeper.....

What version of the cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools rpm packages do you have installed.

rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'cdr*' 'dvd+rw' 'mkisofs'| sort

With some media (blank is OK) what is the output of the command;

dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc

01d55 · 02-27-2006, 08:09 PM

Code:

$ rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'cdr*' 'dvd+rw' 'mkisofs'| sort
cdrecord-2.01.1-5.i386.rpm
mkisofs-2.01.1-5.i386.rpm

I hope that tells you what you need to know about cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools.

My mistake, sorry it should have been 'dvd+rw*' in the rpm command. Not a big deal.....

Based on the cdrecord info and the output from the 'dvd+rw-mediainfo /dev/hdc' command I suspect the known bug;

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=177797

As a suggestion download the current cdrtools and dvd+rw-tools source rpms from Fedora Development and build/install the resulting binaries;

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu....a03-3.src.rpm
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...-6.2.1.src.rpm

Done (I think), but growisofs throws me the same error message as before.

Code:

$ rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'cdr*' 'dvd+rw*' 'mkisofs'| sort
cdrecord-2.01.1-5.i386.rpm
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-4.i386.rpm
mkisofs-2.01.1-5.i386.rpm

The versions seem the same - rpm didn't give me any complaints (#rpm -Uv *.rpm in the directory with the src.rpms)

Lenard · 02-28-2006, 07:39 AM

No, after downloading you extract the source rpm, for example;

rpm -ivh cdrtools-2.01.01.0.a03-3.src.rpm

Then from /usr/src/redhat/SPECS;

rpmbuild -bb cdrtools.spec

When the build is done from the /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/i386 location install the cdrecord and mkisofs binary rpms;

rpm -Uvh cdrecord-2*.rpm mkisofs*.rpm

Repeat the extract, build and install process for the dvd+rw-tools source rpm.
You will end up with these rpms installed;

cdrecord-2.01.01.0.a03-3.i386.rpm
dvd+rw-tools-5.21.4.10.8-6.2.1.i386.rpm
mkisofs-2.01.01.0.a03-3.i386.rpm

You may be able to download/install the binary rpms listed above from the Fedora Development repository, but I'm not 100% sure.

Those less than 100% values for mkisofs and cdrecord worry me. What do they mean? rpm -qa checks out, though, so it looks like it worked:

Code:

# rpm -qa --queryformat="%{n}-%{v}-%{r}.%{arch}.rpm\n" 'cdr*' 'dvd+rw*' 'mkisofs'| sort
cdrecord-2.01.01.0.a03-3.i386.rpm

Those less than 100% values for cdrecord and mkisofs worry me a bit to....

What about using growisofs and dvd+rw-mediainfo, are things looking better???
