4.12 Burning disks/writing incrementally

It is possible to write data to disks in two ways with iXOS-JUKEMAN, namely, in batch mode or incrementally and transparently using the file system.
Batch mode was also a feature of version 1.3b of iXOS-JUKEMAN. The writeable disks are placed in the jukebox and the recorder is reserved for the write process. Once JUKEMAN is instructed to insert a disk into the appropriate drive, the burning process begins in the same way as a disk would be burned in a normal stand-alone drive. Finally the disk is returned to its original slot. It is then possible to include this disk into the overall group of disks, which are an already visible and accessible part of the file system, by clicking on Test (c.f. "Manage disks" on page 115). In this way you achieve a visible migration of data: First the data is collected on a hard disk, before it is written to the disk to be burned and finally integrated into the file system. The drive used for burning is reserved by deactivating same in the device description file (see also "Drive set-up" on page 58). It is also possible to reserve the required drive dynamically during normal operation of the jukebox (e.g to reserve drive 1, simply use the command cdadm detach jb.dev -d 1). It is then possible to move a disk to this drive with the command cdadm movecd jb.dev 1 <slot> or remove a disk from this drive with the command cdadm movecd jb.dev 1. When the drive no longer needs to be reserved, it can be used again for reading with the command cdadm attach jb.dev -d 1.
