GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 324256
Support verification of burn (compare burned cd with original iso)
Last modified: 2007-11-05 13:11:33 UTC
This is a forwarded feature request from: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=167036 When one downloads and burns to media the FC installer CD's or DVD's, it's sometimes the case that you don't realize the CD (or DVD) has been burned incorrectly until several failed attempts at which point you consult a FAQ, and try the step "linux mediacheck"... Only to find out that the CD didn't burn correctly. A more expeditious solution would be to allow the nautilus CD burner (and cdrecord and/or growisofs) allow a readback of the written data to verify that what made it onto the disk is actually what was intended. Perhaps even make this the default (after all, at 8x or 24x, verifying a disk doesn't take long at all).
I think it would be nice to do this by default, but allow the user to cancel it easily. That way there is no need for extra ui widgetry/options.
Thanks Alex. I appreciate you forwarding this along. Unless I'm misunderstanding this is essentially bug 125470. Until recently we couldn't do a direct comparison at all. That (bug 315068) should be fixed so doing verification should be possible and sounds like a good idea. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 125470 ***
