I set the ring buffer size to 16 MB at run time by this option
growisofs ... -use-the-force-luke=bufsize:16M ...
using a vanilla growisofs as it emerges from Andy's original
dvd+rw-tools-6.1 via command make.
dvd+rw-tools-6.1/growisofs.c states that minimum size is
1 MB and that only powers of 2 are permitted (i.e. 2M, 4M, ...).
For checking memory consumption of growisofs (on Linux) i would
execute something like
ps -eo pid,size,vsize,ucmd | fgrep growisofs
while growisofs is running.
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
