Hello, I was greatly surprized by the fact that atapi-cd doesn't recognize VCD disks. I didn't find any solution to that but the patch from http://people.freebsd.org/~luoqi/ , and am wondering what were the reasons that it was not included into the kernel? I do not want the question to sound like a "why not", not even because the code change is safe and minimal, but because there is no other way to read a VCD without patching and recompiling kernel. What I have on my 4.7-STABLE: $ dd if=/dev/[r]acd0[c,a] of=/dev/null bs=[2048,2352,whatever] dd: /dev/acd0c: Invalid argument It is not even a question about mounting the device, which although works via -t cd9660 -s 0 but leaves the files inaccessible; it is about inability to read a perfectly valid medium. Any comments? -- Sincerely, Dmitry --- www.karasik.eu.org --- Life ain't fair, but the root password helps. - BOFH To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
