Re[2]: WORM file system for logging

[Andrea.Zuccollo () mail ing nl]

     I've been on a project where we setup a cd-r system on a linux box, 
     using 'mkisofs' to create the fs (iso9660 with translations, readable 
     from win and unix) and then 'cdrecord' to create a cdrom on a yamaha 
     cdr-400t, no multisessions; the scripts runs periodically and check if 
     there's enough data to create a cdrom; note that 'mkisofs' is 
     available for many (unix) platforms, so that you can pre-create your 
     cdrom image and simply transfer that to the cd-r unit
     
     It's realiable as far as your linux platform is reliable; we had 
     trouble setting up properly (i.e. working) the scsi card; personally I 
     would *not* recommend the adaptec aha-2940a
     
     In about 30 minutes (at speed 4) you can create a 600mb cdrom
     
     I'm aware of cdwriter software for Dec Unix
     
     All software retrievable from:
     
        ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/cdrecord ...
        ftp://ftp.fokus.gmd.de/pub/unix/kernel/scg ...
     
     Hope it helps

        I recall finding a mkisofs when researching this, but
requirements changed (hi Drew!), and I dropped the project before 
researching it further.
     
DESCRIPTION
       mkisofs is effectively a pre-mastering program to generate 
       the  iso9660  filesystem  - it takes a snapshot of a given 
       directory tree, and generates a binary  image  which  will 
       correspond  to  an  iso9660  filesystem  when written to a 
       block device.
     
        [snip]
     
       mkisofs is available for anonymous ftp from tsx-11.mit.edu 
       in   /pub/linux/packages/mkisofs  and  many  other  mirror 
       sites.
