Black Sun and said: attempt to mount CD burned in this way
MAKE THOUSANDS!!! I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: I don't care about the useless pre-fabricated crap this...
This won't work right. You didn't do mkisofs, so the CD-R was burned as the raw data of the first 650M of the .avi file. It doesn't have a filesystem, so the kernel can't recognize the CD.
CLI - Command Line Interface System Monitoring. The watch command (man watch) is useful for this. Here's an example script, which I run in...
You need to split the .avi file in 2, then run mkisofs on each part. Kind of like so:
split -b 650m file.avi file.avi (creates file.aviaa and file.aviab) rm file.avi (hey, you don't have any disk space, right?) mkdir disc1 disc2 ; mv file.aviaa disc1-file.1.avi ; mv file.aviab disc2-file.2.avi mkisofs -r -J disc1 cdrecord OPTIONS - mkisofs -r -J disc2 cdrecord OPTIONS -
...you *may* be able to do this without split with the -stream-media-size option to mkisofs; check mkisofs's man page for details. You should be able to pipe the output of dd into mkisofs in this fashion. Sort of like:
dd if=file.avi bs=1m count=650 mkisofs -r -J -stream-media-size 332800 cdrecord OPTIONS -
dd if=file.avi bs=1m count=650 skip=650 mkisofs -r -J -stream-media-size 332800 cdrecord OPTIONS -
I can't offer much guidance in this because I've always split my stuff into 700M chunks with split if it won't fit on one CD. 332800 is the number of 2048-byte sectors on an individual medium. HTH,
