Just wondered if anyone had thoughts on using a CD writer with FreeBSD-stable as a backup medium. Does the lack of hard real-timeness matter? Like, if some other process starts thrashing, will my CD be ruined? Is the support for some writers better than others? Should I just stick with tape? Sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Andrew Bromage To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
