This text describes how to set up a qemu virtual machine so that xorriso
|
||||
on its guest GNU/Linux can operate a CD, DVD or BD recorder of the host
|
||||
system.
|
||||
|
||||
The options follow proposals of Paolo Bonzini on qemu-devel mailing list.
|
||||
My compliments for his patient guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
This worked with a qemu git clone which was made few days before the
|
||||
release candidate v1.0-rc0 was tagged.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
qemu start command :
|
||||
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ qemu \
|
||||
-enable-kvm \
|
||||
-nographic \
|
||||
-m 512 \
|
||||
-net nic,model=ne2k_pci \
|
||||
-net user,hostfwd=tcp::5557-:22 \
|
||||
-hda /dvdbuffer/i386-install.qemu \
|
||||
-drive file=/dev/sr2,if=none,id=scsicd \
|
||||
-device virtio-blk,drive=scsicd,logical_block_size=2048,physical_block_size=2048 \
|
||||
-cdrom .../some_image.iso
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
With this setup of -drive and -device it is necessary to have a readable
|
||||
medium in the drive, when qemu gets started. Else it will refuse to start
|
||||
with a message about missing medium or with an i/o error if the medium
|
||||
is blank.
|
||||
|
||||
The guest system is accessible via ssh and scp at port 5557 of the
|
||||
host system.
|
||||
|
||||
'''/dev/sr2''' is the address of the DVD drive which is handed over to the
|
||||
guest system.
|
||||
|
||||
'''.../some_image.iso''' may be any readable file which shall serve as
|
||||
virtual DVD-ROM. qemu is not happy without such a thing.
|
||||
|
||||
'''/dvdbuffer/i386-install.qemu''' is the disk image, where the guest operating
|
||||
system was installed.
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ qemu-img create /dvdbuffer/i386-install.qemu 8G
|
||||
$ qemu \
|
||||
-enable-kvm \
|
||||
-m 512 \
|
||||
-net nic,model=ne2k_pci \
|
||||
-hda /dvdbuffer/i386-install.qemu \
|
||||
-cdrom debian-6.0.3-i386-netinst.iso \
|
||||
-boot d
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
Host system of my test is Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.2 amd64,
|
||||
which had access to the Internet when the guest was installed.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Preparations on guest system Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.3 i386
|
||||
|
||||
There appears no /dev/sr for the passthrough drive. Since libburn
|
||||
on Linux currently insists in finding a /dev/sr which points to the
|
||||
drive, there is need for an udev rule.
|
||||
|
||||
/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
KERNEL=="vda", SYMLINK+="sr1"
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
libburn on Linux needs rw-permission for the drive's device node.
|
||||
The virtual device /dev/vda is in group "disk". Usual for CD drives is
|
||||
group "cdrom", to which i (or the Debian installer ?) have added my
|
||||
normal user when i installed the guest system.
|
||||
|
||||
In /lib/udev/rules.d/91-permissions.rules:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
KERNEL=="vda", GROUP="cdrom"
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
This should yield
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 8 11:19 /dev/sr1 -> vda
|
||||
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 254, 0 Nov 8 11:19 /dev/vda
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
Beginning with libburnia release 1.1.8, the tests will also be
|
||||
possible with dynamically linked xorriso which comes with libisoburn
|
||||
and needs installed libburn and libisofs. That's what packages of
|
||||
Debian and other distros deliver.
|
||||
|
||||
For now, one needs GNU xorriso from a recent development tarball
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/xorriso-1.1.7.tar.gz
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Do
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ tar xzf xorriso-1.1.7.tar.gz
|
||||
$ cd xorriso-1.1.7
|
||||
$ ./configure && make
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Either do as superuser
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
# make install
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
or execute it where it was built as
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ ./xorriso/xorriso ...arguments...
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
After compilation, this binary does not depend on files in the build
|
||||
directory. You may move it to any other location.
|
||||
|
||||
The version must be >= 1.1.7, Version timestamp >= 2011.11.09.111414
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -version
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
tells the versions of its components on stdout:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso version : 1.1.7
|
||||
Version timestamp : 2011.11.09.111414
|
||||
...
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
For details about the following xorriso commands, read
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
man xorriso
|
||||
man ./xorriso/xorriso.1
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
or with the same content
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
info xorriso
|
||||
info ./xorriso/xorriso.info
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Or read the [http://scdbackup.sourceforge.net/man_1_xorriso_devel.html online man page of xorriso].
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the sequence of xorriso arguments matters. They are commands
|
||||
which get performed one after the other.
|
||||
This differs from the behavior of mkisofs, cdrecord, et.al.,
|
||||
which parse all arguments and then perform actions in a hardcoded
|
||||
sequence.
|
||||
|
||||
Writing happens automatically if ISO filetree changes are pending
|
||||
at the end of the program run. This is like with other burn tools.
|
||||
(There is a command -commit for intermediate writing e.g. in dialog
|
||||
mode.)
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Listing accessible drives:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -devices
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
shows on stdout:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
0 -dev '/dev/sr0' rwrw-- : 'QEMU ' 'QEMU DVD-ROM'
|
||||
1 -dev '/dev/sr1' rwrw-- : 'Optiarc ' 'BD RW BD-5300S'
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The burn tests are presented here for unformatted DVD-RW media.
|
||||
The xorriso commands apply also to other types of optical media.
|
||||
See "Other applicable media types:" further below.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Inspecting drive and medium:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -toc
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should show on stdout something like
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
Drive current: -dev '/dev/sr1'
|
||||

||||

|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Blanking to single session capability:
|
||||
|
||||
This medium has to be blanked before further writing. For the DAO
|
||||
test, one can save time by fast blanking, which xorriso normally
|
||||
dislikes because the result is not capable of multi-session:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -blank deformat_quickest
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should report on stderr
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Blanking ( 1.0% done in 2 seconds )
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Blanking ( 95.4% done in 36 seconds )
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Blanking ( 99.0% done in 37 seconds )
|
||||
...
|
||||
Media current: DVD-RW sequential recording
|
||||
Media status : is blank
|
||||
Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 4489m free
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Do not worry if the pacifier messages show no neat percentage progress.
|
||||
Some drives report "1.0%" until they are done. Some report "1.0%"
|
||||
after "99%".
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing a DAO session:
|
||||
|
||||
Use one or more moderately sized directories as input. Here: /usr/bin.
|
||||
Terminate the list of -add arguments by argument "--".
|
||||
It is important to have command -close "on" among the arguments.
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -outdev /dev/sr1 -close on -add /usr/bin --
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should report on stderr
|
||||
{{{
|
||||

||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Do not worry if there is no progress to see for a few dozen seconds
|
||||
at the beginning.
|
||||
The run will last at least as long as writing of 1 GB would need.
|
||||
If you write less data, then there will be a lot of zero progress
|
||||
messages at the end of writing.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Checkreading the result:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -indev /dev/sr1 -check_md5_r sorry / --
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
The word "sorry" sets the severity of the event message, which is
|
||||
emitted in case of MD5 mismatch. "sorry" will continue the checkreading
|
||||
after mismatch, "failure" or "fatal" will end the xorriso run.
|
||||
All three will cause a non-zero exit value of xorriso if a mismatch
|
||||
occured.
|
||||
|
||||
This should report on stderr
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||

||||

||||

|
||||
}}}
|
||||
and the exit value should be 0, if no mismatch was reported.
|
||||
|
||||
A mismatch message would look like
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
MD5 MISMATCH: '/usr/bin/ncursesw5-config'
|
||||
...
|
||||

|
||||
xorriso : SORRY : Event triggered by MD5 comparison mismatch
|
||||
xorriso : NOTE : Tolerated problem event of severity 'SORRY'
|
||||
xorriso : NOTE : -return_with SORRY 32 triggered by problem severity SORRY
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
and the exit value should be non-zero.
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Blanking to multi-session capability:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -blank as_needed
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
This will need as long as writing the DVD-RW up to its end.
|
||||
Blanking option "as_neede" lets xorriso decide what to do in order
|
||||
to make the medium type writable from scratch.
|
||||
|
||||
The report on stderr should end by
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Blanking ( 98.9% done in 902 seconds )
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Blanking ( 99.0% done in 903 seconds )

||||

|
||||
Blanking done
|
||||
xorriso : NOTE : Re-assessing -outdev '/dev/sr1'
|
||||

|
||||
Media current: DVD-RW sequential recording

||||

|
||||
Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 4489m free
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Writing multiple sessions (DVD-R write type Incremental):
|
||||
|
||||
This time do not perform command -close "on", so that the medium
|
||||
stays writable:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -dev /dev/sr1 -add /usr/lib --
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Writing: 105280s 98.6% fifo 0% buf 77% 3.5xD
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Writing: 106796s 100.0% fifo 0% buf 62% 2.2xD
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Closing track/session. Working since 44 seconds
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Closing track/session. Working since 77 seconds
|
||||
ISO image produced: 106646 sectors
|
||||
Written to media : 106800 sectors at LBA 0
|
||||
Writing to '/dev/sr1' completed successfully.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Checkread like after the DAO test:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -indev /dev/sr1 -check_md5_r sorry / --
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : 204.0m content bytes read in 63 seconds
|
||||
File contents and their MD5 checksums match.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Writing the second session looks like the first one. Just use another
|
||||
set of input files to get a visible change in the ISO 9660 file tree:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -dev /dev/sr1 -add /usr/bin --
|
||||
...
|
||||
Written to media : 53408 sectors at LBA 135488
|
||||
Writing to '/dev/sr1' completed successfully.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
And checkread the whole tree of files (i.e. both sessions):
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -indev /dev/sr1 -check_md5_r sorry / --
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : 307.8m content bytes read in 89 seconds
|
||||
File contents and their MD5 checksums match.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
At the end of writing a final session, the medium can be closed.
|
||||
It will not take more writing unless it gets blanked or formatted.
|
||||
So use command -close "on" to demand closing after writing.
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -dev /dev/sr1 -close on -add /usr/sbin --
|
||||
...
|
||||
Written to media : 16160 sectors at LBA 195056
|
||||
Writing to '/dev/sr1' completed successfully.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Checkread
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -md5 on -indev /dev/sr1 -check_md5_r sorry / --
|
||||
...
|
||||
Media current: DVD-RW sequential recording
|
||||
Media status : is written , is closed
|
||||
Media summary: 3 sessions, 176368 data blocks, 344m data, 4064m free
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : 337.7m content bytes read in 97 seconds
|
||||
File contents and their MD5 checksums match.
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If the drive tray can move by itself, you may now eject the medium:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -eject all
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Other applicable media types:
|
||||
|
||||
These test runs for sequential DVD-RW may be performed on CD-RW with the
|
||||
same xorriso arguments. Be aware that /usr/lib will hardly fit on a CD.
|
||||
So choose smaller directories for CD.
|
||||
|
||||
-blank "deformat_quickest" addresses a peculiarity of DVD-RW.
|
||||
It will work on other media like -blank "fast".
|
||||
|
||||
Except the blanking runs, the tests may also be performed on BD-R, DVD-R,
|
||||
DVD+R, and CD-R. But you would waste two media by this.
|
||||
|
||||
The first session on CD will always be written with write type SAO,
|
||||
further sessions will be written with TAO.
|
||||
|
||||
All four media types have a simulation mode. It can be enabled by xorriso
|
||||
command -dummy "on", but of course it will not produce readable results.
|
||||
So this simulation is usable only for first sessions on blank media.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now for formatted overwritable media.
|
||||
|
||||
The write methods and states of formatted media differ from those of
|
||||
sequential media. But xorriso presents to the user a unified
|
||||
multi-session usage model, under the assumption that all emulated
|
||||
sessions contain ISO 9660 filesystem images, which successively
|
||||
build on each other.
|
||||
|
||||
So from the view of xorriso commands, there is only the task of
|
||||
getting those media formatted, which makes them differ from the
|
||||
sequential media mentioned above.
|
||||
|
||||
A special case are BD-R, which xorriso may format but will not bring
|
||||
into (pseudo-) overwritable state. Formatted BD-R perform Defect
|
||||
Management by default, which checkread during writing and replaces
|
||||
bad block. Nice idea in theory. My practical experience is not so good.
|
||||
Ill media stay ill media and should be replaced as soon as possible.
|
||||
|
||||
Formatting of unused DVD+RW and BD-RE is done by xorriso automatically.
|
||||
Just start a normal write run. DVD-RAM are sold formatted.
|
||||
|
||||
De-formatting is only possible with DVD-RW.
|
||||
|
||||
xorriso treats overwritable media with a valid ISO 9660 filesystem as
|
||||
appendable media. To make then writable from scratch, apply
|
||||
-blank "as_needed", which will actually write a few bytes into the PVD
|
||||
(superblock) of the ISO filesystem to invalidate it.
|
||||
|
||||
There is no way to close formatted media. The command -close "on"
|
||||
gets silently ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Format DVD-RW for overwriting without intermediate blanking,
|
||||
or format BD-R for Defect Management:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -format as_needed
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should report on stderr
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
xorriso : UPDATE : Formatting ( 99.0% done in 116 seconds )
|
||||
Formatting done
|
||||
xorriso : NOTE : Re-assessing -outdev '/dev/sr1'
|
||||
Drive current: -outdev '/dev/sr1'
|
||||
Media current: DVD-RW restricted overwrite
|
||||
Media status : is blank
|
||||
Media summary: 0 sessions, 0 data blocks, 0 data, 4488m free
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
As with blanking, one should not worry if the progress messages show
|
||||
unplausible percentages. Some drives are more equal than others.
|
||||
|
||||
Formatting is said to be much stress to the medium. -format option
|
||||
"as_needed" applies it only to yet unformatted media.
|
||||
|
||||
When performing above write tests, take care to use -blank "as_needed"

rather than -blank "deformat_quickest". Else you will get a sequential
|
||||
unformatted DVD-RW rather than a formatted DVD-RW which xorriso is
|
||||
willing to write from scratch.
|
||||
There is no use in a separate "DAO" test on overwritable media anyway.
|
||||
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Change the formatted size of a BD-RE:
|
||||
|
||||
First learn about formatted size and proposals of other sizes.
|
||||
(One can issue own wishes, too. See in man xorriso, command -format.)
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -list_formats
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should tell on stdout
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
...
|
||||
Format status: formatted, with 23610.0 MiB
|
||||
BD Spare Area: 0 blocks consumed, 131072 blocks available
|
||||
Format idx 0 : 00h , 11826176s , 23098.0 MiB
|
||||
Format idx 1 : 01h , 11564032s , 22586.0 MiB
|
||||
Format idx 2 : 30h , 11826176s , 23098.0 MiB
|
||||
Format idx 3 : 30h , 11564032s , 22586.0 MiB
|
||||
Format idx 4 : 30h , 12088320s , 23610.0 MiB
|
||||
Format idx 5 : 31h , 12219392s , 23866.0 MiB
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
So lets go back from 23610.0 MiB to the default size of 23098.0 MiB
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -format by_index_2 -blank as_needed
|
||||
...
|
||||
Media summary: 2 sessions, 105470 data blocks, 206m data, 22.4g free
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
Although the heads of the old sessions might remain readable after
|
||||
-format, better do not rely on this and a append -blank "as_needed" to
|
||||
avoid any data corruption.
|
||||
If you want to keep the data, then make at least a checkread run.
|
||||
|
||||
Check whether the size has changed:
|
||||
{{{
|
||||
$ xorriso -outdev /dev/sr1 -list_formats
|
||||
}}}
|
||||
should tell on stdout
|
||||
