Putting a CD-R on a FreeBSD machine is a nice goal, but what is being done to ensure CD-R's are not starved. CD-R drives need some type of guarenteed real-time access. Big buffers in CD-R help but I've seen UNIX boxes slow down to a crawl before. This is why we use the Young Minds CD-Studio for our releases in an UNIX environment. It may be expensive but it produces reliable CD's and doesn't require any kernel mods since it emulates a tape drive and a CDROM for testing. Now if someones does this for FreeBSD I'd be interested, however, I don't have access to any spare drives so I wouldn't be of much help. Of course with prices falling on 2X CD-R drives ... Doug A.
