    Hi,

    I am doing a mksysb to DVD, all goes well, to a point, it starts to copy
    the files to the DVD:

     

    cmd: mkcd -U -d /dev/cd0 -M /opt/mksysb

    Initializing mkcd log: /var/adm/ras/mkcd.log...

    Verifying command parameters...

    Creating image.data file...

    Creating mksysb image...

    Populating the CD or DVD file system...

    Copying backup to the CD or DVD file system...

     

    Then that's it, it seems to continually copy the files without
    finishing, I killed it after it had been running for 5 hours copying the
    files to DVD.

     

    Any idea's.

     

    Thanks

    David

     

    Aix 5.2 ML 4 ( 550)
