6.14 Recommendations for Mount Rainier formatted media<br />

The following guidelines are established to ensure interchange of Mount Rainier (MRW)<br />

formatted media.<br />

6.14.1 Properties of CD-MRW and DVD+MRW media and drives<br />

The following is a list of key properties of MRW media and drives:<br />

• A Physical Sector Size of 2048 Bytes<br />

• The drive performs Read/Modify/Write cycles when needed. Data transfer between<br />

the host and the MRW drive is in multiples of 2048 bytes.<br />

• Random access read and write is possible<br />

• Drive level defect management<br />

• The drive performs background physical formatting<br />

• The Media Type is Overwritable (partition access type 4)<br />

• A Non-Allocatable Space List, Non-Allocatable Space Stream and Sparing table shall<br />

not be used on MRW formatted media<br />

6.14.2 Background Physical Formatting<br />

At the initialization of the file system, after the Background Physical Formatting has been<br />

started, the host must record the first AVDP at sector 256. The second AVDP must be<br />

recorded after the Background physical Formatting has been finished. Before the second<br />

AVDP has been recorded, the file system is in an intermediate state and is not strictly in<br />

compliance with ECMA 167. The disc can be ejected before the background formatting is<br />

finished, in that case only one AVDP exists on the MRW disc. Note that at an early eject<br />

the drive must format all non-recorded areas up to the highest sector number recorded by<br />

the host, this could cause a significant delay in the early eject process. Implementations<br />

are recommended to allocate the lowest numbered blocks available while background<br />

physical formatting is in progress.<br />

The background physical formatting shall not influence the recording of the LVID. At<br />

early eject the LVID shall be recorded in the same way as it will be recorded on<br />

rewritable media that do not support background physical formatting.<br />
