DVD filesystems & capacity

[Jeremy Hohertz]

That would be:

bash-2.05a$ cat /proc/scsi/scsi
Attached devices:
Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00
  Vendor: PIONEER  Model: DVD-RW  DVR-105  Rev: 1.00
  Type:   CD-ROM                           ANSI SCSI revision: 02
bash-2.05a$

Still works like a charm.
