• RSJ CD Writer Question

    From PaulRS@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 13 23:56:45 2016
    XPost: comp.os.os2.misc

    I have made a backup of one of my partitions "BACKUP-D"
    I attach a DVD in a DVD-writer and try to use the filesystem to put "BACKUP-D" onto the DVD
    I get a sys 1187 when it comes to the two files in the "BACKUP-D" directory (xcopy cannot access the target file) It is trying to
    access a file yet to be written backup.001 and control.001 which is
    not yet on the DVD.

    The command I was using was "xcopy m;\BACKUP-D z:\ /s" "Z'' is the
    letter applied to the DVD wirter.

    This is my first use of RSJ so I may be doing something wrong:
    I ATTACHED the DVD and the box changed to FINALIZE . . . . OK
    I the opened a command line with the above command.
    I got the sys 1187

    What am I doing wrong. My goal is to put 3 BACKUP-D, E, F on to this
    DVD

    So what's the size of these files?

    BACKUP.001 164,121,163
    CONTROL.001 297,404

    These seem to be well under the 2Gb barrier

    What am I doing wrong.

    RSJ is an app instead of an operating system (or misc), but of course
    *you* still don't have to use comp.os.os2.apps. If *I* do restrict my
    general answer to comp.os.os2.ecomstation, by choice, then you are
    exceeding the limits of the free product shipped with the on-topic
    operating system by far. RTFM, if you can be bothered.

    The fact that CD or DVD writing is a facility one can reasonably expect
    to be included with an OS these days (on the basis of what other OS's
    do), together with the fact that a version of RSJ is supplied with ECS
    make for a rather borderline situation in my view. It can be looked at
    either way, as a feature or as an app. Yes the version supplied is a
    limited function version. Whether you can still get the full version, I
    am not sure. It certainly became unavailable at one time. And yes, read
    the manual.

    Let's hope Blue Lion (or whatever) improves the situation.

    FOR ALL: This is the full version. I (of course) had the limited
    version accompanying ecomstation 2.1. We are dealing with a FULL
    VERSION $100+ US$
    Also, I post to OS/2 and Ecomstation because there is such LITTLE
    OS/2 traffic these days and I wanted my question to be seen rather
    than put into (probably) a lessor viewed sub-category of OS/2. Sorry
    if I offended anyone . . . .

    What type of DVD are you using -R(W) or +R(W) and how did you prepare
    the DVD for writing?

    What do you get in the RSJ Error Log file?


    ivan

    The DVD is a -R It is not a rewritable. I did no preparation - just
    loaded a blank. The manual does not seem to say any prep is needed.
    As to the error log, I guess I did not start it. The OS/2 prompt
    gave me the (above) sys 1187.

    Paul

    The full version puts the following into config.sys

    REM *** RSJ CD-Writer File System ***
    BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT
    DEVICE=D:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS
    IFS=D:\CDWFS\CDWFS.IFS
    RUN=D:\CDWFS\CDWFSD.EXE -p "e:/temp" -c20000 -b2048 -t2 -i3 -s0

    If you read the readme in the CDWFS directory you should find that if
    you are using the Dani drivers the first basedev is unnecessary and
    you may not need the second device either.

    The Error Log is normally started from the startup folder.

    A -R DVD doesn't usually need anything in the way of preparation but I
    would recommend that you use a -RW until you get everything up and
    running - saves making coasters, also read the very short section
    about data DVDs in the pdf manual (cdwdoc.pdf).

    OK - I tried again and started the "Error Log" this time using a RW
    Media.

    All worked fine. Got me to thinking that maybe the initial DVD-R
    itself was at fault. I had a DVD+R from another manufacturer. I
    tried it and things also ran without issue.

    I put the 1st DVD-R I had tried into a Lixux Box and made a copy there
    an it also worked

    So, my conclusion is that the original DVD-R from this manufacturer
    was not "liked" by RSJ (???)

    Thanks all for your time and help --- Paul

    Quite possible. A slower speed might have worked as well
