    This document provides instructions for formatting drive disks in Linux and Windows for storing digital cinema packages (DCP). It outlines the following: 1. For feature DCP drives on Linux, use the EXT2 file system. Delete and add a new partition, create the filesystem, and check it is readable. 2. For trailer DCP drives on Windows, use the FAT32 file system as individual files cannot exceed 4GB. Format the drive to use full capacity and FAT32 format. 3. Set permissions on all files to 777 to ensure all users can read files on the drive for playback on servers.

    HOW-TO Format Drive in Linux 2015

    File System for Feature DCP Disk Drives: Linux EXT2.

    1. Plug drive into Linux computer.


    2. Reformate the drive and create a new partition:
    a. > fdisk /dev/[device]
    Example:
    > fdisk /dev/sded
    b. > d – delete partition
    c. > n – Add a new partition
    i. > p – Primary partition
    ii. > 1
    iii. > default to first partition
    iv. > default to last partition
    d. > p – show partition details to confirm change
    e. > w – Write
    3. Create an ext2 filesystem with 128 bytes/inode ratio on the newly fdisked drive.
    > mkfs.ext2 –I 128 /dev/[partition]
    Example:
    > mkfs.ext2 –I 128 /dev/sded1
    4. List the contents of the filesystem superblock:
    > tune2fs –l /dev/[partition]
    Example:
    > tune2fs -l /dev/sded1
    Look for these lines:
    Filesystem state: clean
    Filesystem OS type: Linux
    Filesystem created: Current Date
    Inode size: 128
    5. The drive is ready to be written to.

    Permissions for all files on the Linux EXT2 file system should be set so that they are readable by all users
    on the system. As root user, use the unix command on the parent directory level of the drive’s mount
    point to ensure that all files are readable:

    # chmod –R 777 *

    Permissions on the DCP files in order that the Doremi or Dolby server can read the files look like this:
    drwxrwxrwx 3 digital 502 2048 May 23 05:38 directory_name
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name

    If using a FTP client to get the DCP files from a Smartjog or FTP server, please use Binary mode for the
    transfer (not ASCII or auto setting).
    HOW-TO Format Drive in Linux 2015

    File System for Trailer DCP Disk Drives: FAT32.

     Each individual file must be under 4GB.


     If even one a single file in the package is over 4GB, use File System for Feature DCP Disk Drives:
    Linux EXT2.

    1. Plug drive into Windows computer.


    2. Click on the "My Computer" shortcut on the desktop of your computer.
    3. Right-click the flash drive and choose the "Format" option.
    4. Verified the “Capacity” is set to use the full space allotted.
    5. Change the selection under "File System" to FAT32.
    6. Change the selection under “Allocation unit size” to Default allocation size
    7. Click the "Start" button to begin the formatting process.
    8. The drive is ready to be written to.

    Permissions for all files on the FAT32 file system should be set so that they are readable by all users on
    the system. As root user, use the unix command on the parent directory level of the drive’s mount point
    to ensure that all files are readable:

    # chmod –R 777 *

    Permissions on the DCP files in order that the Doremi or Dolby server can read the files look like this:
    drwxrwxrwx 3 digital 502 2048 May 23 05:38 directory_name
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name
    -rw-rw-rw- 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name
    -rw-rw-r-- 1 60001 60001 141 May 8 11:38 file_name

    If using a FTP client to get the DCP files from a Smartjog or FTP server, please use Binary mode for the
    transfer (not ASCII or auto setting).
