My Athlon-XP box is running under 1.4. I have emerged cdrtools, mkisofs and later cdbkup: app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01_alpha14 * app-cdr/cdbkup-1.0 * xcdroast works so far, but when I tried to use cdrbkup for backing up my whole system with the command cdbkup 0 -c bz2 -e /tmp -e /mnt -e /proc -e /dev -m -s 4 -S 700000000 -w /mnt/extra 0,6,0 / it died in cdsplit line 302. I inserted a print $cmd right at the begin of the for loop (line 300) to learn the exact command, which caused the dying of the script. It's /usr/bin/mkisofs -quiet -R -J /mnt/extra/BlackHole-2004-01-30-0.tar.bz2.1 | /usr/bin/cdrecord -v -data dev=0,6,0 speed=4 - I read the manpages of cdrecord and mkisofs, so far the command looks good, but doesn't work. Even issuing it on the command on a cmd line doesn't work. It dies with this message: drecord 2.01a14 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2003 J<F6>rg Schilling TOC Type: 1 = CD-ROM scsidev: '0,6,0' scsibus: 0 target: 6 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 Using libscg version 'schily-0.7' atapi: 0 Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : RELADR SYNC LINKED Vendor_info : 'TEAC ' Identifikation : 'CD-R55S ' Revision : '1.0R' Device seems to be: Teac CD-R50S.

Nothing gets written, even the CDR isn't touched, it's fully usable after a try. My only guess is, that cdrecord does not work in a pipe (Track 1 has unknown length), but I'm not able to fix this problem. At least it looks that the problem is not with cdbkup, but with mkisofs or cdrecord. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: cdbkup dies Expected Results: burning of backup CD's Severity = Major, because cdbkup doesn't work at all Feel free to contact me for further infos :-)
try to upgrade to latest cdrtools/cdrdao in portage
And again, please upgrade and test.
