Is it possible to start several processes virtually simultaneously? I'm attempting to write four CDs simultaneously, using four Yamaha 6416 CD-RWs attached to an Adaptec 2940 SCSI card (reading from an IDE hard disk, though). If I use:
cdrdao -d 0,2,0 cd.toc & cdrdao -d 0,3,0 cd.toc & cdrdao -d 0,4,0 cd.toc & cdrdao -d 0,5,0 cd.toc & to write the discs, I get buffer underruns (even in simulation). I think this may be due to the tasks starting at different times (there appears to be a two-second pause between each process running); the pause may be resetting the SCSI bus. Is there any reason why this shouldn't work in principle? Is there something else I'm missing? Thanks in advance for your help, -- alisdair mcdiarmid [EMAIL PROTECTED] [ ]
