cdrecord (Re: Is the vger 2.2 kernel branch dead)

[Brad Midgley]

on the topic of cdrecord, i found i can burn to CDRW media but not CDRs
(it dies with "retryable errors" when closing the CDR)  this is on a
7500's external bus with paul's 2.2.10 and a ricoh MP6201S firmware 2.20
using Cdrecord release 1.8a22. has anyone else seen this?

> #define SHMMAX 0x1000000                /* max shared seg size (bytes) */

this one can be fixed in userspace. in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit:

# set shmmax to allow cdrecord to work
echo 6000000 >/proc/sys/kernel/shmmax
