I have a few questions about DVD-RAM drives and their usage with DVD media.
First, I've followed the steps from handbook section 18.7.9. This seemingly works flawlessly for DVD/RW media for copying files to the disk, however, what about DVD/R media? Will using dd not zero the disk and make it further unusable or is this a one time only step?
Second, during file copy using DVD/RW media, transfer seems to be unusually slow compared to wait times experienced with other operating systems. Is there something I may be missing that will speed up the process? (gstat reports speeds of ~1400KB/s and drops to 0 for several seconds before buffering again, i assume)
Thanks.
