Make compile on statvfs systems.
Changes:
- growisofs 5.19-1 hotfix to address "flushing cache takes forever;
- 5.19.4.9.7 release;
- LG GSA-4081B fails to "SET STREAMING" with "LBA OUT OF RANGE" for
DVD+RW media, but not e.g. DVD-R;
- dvd+rw-booktype: BTC support;
- make DVD-RAM work in "poor-man" mode;
- average write speed report at the end of recording;
- dvd+rw-format 4.9: permit for DVD-RW blank even if format descriptors
are not present;
- Solaris: get rid of media reload, which made it possible to improve
volume manager experience as well;
- address speed verification issues with NEC ND-2500 and Plextor
PX-708A;
- IRIX: IRIX 6.x port is added;
- dvd+rw-tools-5.18.4.8.6: www.software.hp.com release;
- minimize amount of compiler warnings on 64-bit platforms;
- skip count-down if no_tty_check is set;
- -use-the-force-luke=tracksize:size option by suggestion from K3b;
- Linux: fix for "Bad file descriptor" with DVD+RW kernel patch;
- refuse to run if ${SUDO_COMMAND} is set;
Changes since 5.6.4.4.4:
5.7:
- Solaris USB workaround;
- 15 min timeout for FLUSH CACHE in DVD-RW DAO;
- revalidate recording speed;
- load media upon start-up (Linux used to auto-close tray upon open,
but not the others, which is why this functionality is added so
late);
5.8:
- elder Ricoh firmwares seem to report events differently, which
triggered growisofs and dvd+rw-format to end-less loop at startup
[event handling was introduced in 5.6 for debugging purposes];
- int ioctl_fd is transformed to void *ioctl_handle to facilitate
port to FreeBSD;
- FreeBSD support contributed by Matthew Dillon;
- volume descriptors from second session were discarded in
Restricted Overwrite since 5.6;
5.9:
- some [SONY] firmwares make it impossible to tell apart minimally
and fully blanked media, so we need a way to engage DAO manually
[in DVD-RW]... let's treat multiple -dvd-compat options as "cry"
for DAO;
- refuse to finalize even DVD-R media with -M flag (advise to fill
it up with -M /dev/cdrom=/dev/zero too), apparently DVD-units
[or is it just SONY?] also "misplace" legacy lead-out in the same
manner as DVD+units;
- oops! DAO hung at >4MB buffer because of sign overflow;
- couple of human-readable error messages in poor_mans_pwrite64;
- work around Plextor firmware deficiency which [also] manifests as
end-less loop upon startup;
5.10:
- increase timeout for OPC, NEC multi-format derivatives might
require more time to fulfill the OPC procedure;
- extended syntax for -use-the-force-luke option, it's now possible
to engage DVD-R[W] dummy mode by -use-the-force-luke=[tty,]dummy
for example, where "tty" substitutes for the original non-extended
option meaning, see the source for more easter eggs;
- FreeBSD: compile-time option to pass -M /dev/fd/0 to mkisofs to
make life easier for those who mount devfs, but not fdescfs;
- eliminate potential race conditions;
- avoid end-less loop if no media was in upon tray load;
- interpret value of MKISOFS environment variable as absolute path
to mkisofs binary;
- to facilitate for GUI front-ends return different exit codes, most
notably exit value of 128|errno denotes a fatal error upon program
startup [messages worth popping up in a separate modal dialog
perhaps?], errno - fatal error during recording and 1 - warnings
at exit;
- to facilitate for GUI front-ends auto-format blank DVD+RW media;
- Linux: fix for failure to copy volume descriptors when DVD-RW
Restricted Overwrite procedure is applied to patched kernel;
- FreeBSD: growisofs didn't close tray upon startup nor did the rest
of the tools work with open tray;
- bark at -o option and terminate execution, the "problem" was that
users seem to misspell -overburn once in a while, in which case it
was passed down to mkisofs and an iso-image was dumped to current
working directory instead of media;
- generalize -M /dev/cdrom=file.iso option, but if file.iso is not
/dev/zero, insist on sane -C argument to be passed prior -M and
double-verify the track starting address;
5.11:
- authorship statement in -version output;
- make speed_factor floating point and print "Current Write Speed"
factor for informational purposes;
- Pioneer DVR-x06 exhibited degraded performance when recording DVD+;
- Pioneer DVR-x06 failed to complete DVD+ recording gracefully;
- alter set-root-uid behaviour under Linux from "PAM-junky" to more
conservative one;
5.12:
- single Pioneer DVR-x06 user reported that very small fraction of
his recordings get terminted with "LONG WRITE IN PROGRESS," even
though growisofs explicitly reserves for this condition... It
turned out that at those rare occasions unit reported a lot of free
buffer space, which growisofs treated as error condition. It's not
clear if it's firmware deficiency, but growisofs reserves even for
this apparently rare condition now.
- [major] issue with MODE SENSE/SELECT on SANYO derivatives, such as
Optorite, is addressed;
- Linux can't open(2) a socket by /dev/fd/N, replace it with dup(2);
- more relaxed command line option parsing and simultaneously a
zealous check to make sure that no mkisofs options are passed
along with -[ZM] /dev/cdrom=image;
- report I/O error if input stream was less than 64K;
- -M /dev/cdrom=/dev/zero didn't relocate the lead-out in DVD-RW
Restricted Overwrite;
5.13:
- workarounds for Panasonic/MATSUSHITA DVD-RAM LF-D310;
- Solaris: media load upon start-up;
Mainly bugfixing and and extra command `dvd+rw-mediainfo' that regretfully
only gives information when its really a DVD+/-R{W} disc ... this can be
used to get more information about the booktype used etc.
DVD+R/RW drives. It includes "growisofs" as a wrapper around mkisofs
for appending or modifying contents of existing media.
It is also able to write to some DVD- drives and media.
