Disable Warning Message (Program reads data faster than it can write to disk)

Post by NotMilitaryAI »

Is there any way to disable this warning message?

Code: Select all

Program reads data faster than it can write to disk, consider upgrading your hard drive if you see many of these messages.

99% of my usage of makemkv is using `makemkvcon` to remux BDMVs and ISOs and get this warning message every single time. (My ZFS array reads much faster than it writes.)

Is there an option I can add to the 'settings.conf' file or something in order to disable these messages?


Thanks.

PS: If it matters, my OS is Ubuntu 18.04

Edit:
Current bodge solution: Added the following to my ~/.bashrc file:

Code: Select all

makemkvcon() {
    command makemkvcon "$@" | \
        grep -v 'Program reads data faster than it can write to disk'
}

Not that we know of, other than to make the machine write faster...

It is a rare message for most of us; the device being read from (DVD/Bluray) is normally slower than writing the output to the drive. That isn't the case when dealing with reading from an ISO. I wouldn't worry about it, for the most part.
