Subject: [Bacula-devel] DVD + packet writing + UDF

Hello,

is anyone using this approach in production?

I do for about a week now. And it appears to be easier to setup and is,
in fact, quite media independent. (I actually gave up on trying the
growisofs/dvd-handler method - bacula constantly rejected most of my
media...)

Here is how it works for me (all done with bacula 1.38.5 on FC4 with the
udftools package installed):

1. load udf file system support (modprobe udf)

2. create a packet writing device on top of the dvd drive (pktsetup
   dvd-writer /dev/hdc)

3. format a blank media with UDF file system (mkudffs --media-type=dvd
   /dev/pktcdvd/dvd-writer), I tried with DVD-RAM, DVD+RW and CD-RW
   media. All appear to work fine - at different speeds of course.
