There was no output, at least after the copyrite notice, just a blank 
line.  On BD-RE I get a message indicating the format operation was in 
process.  Result was the same on the Slackware system as well using 
brand new BD-R media.  Both drives are Pioneer models.

The log reports from K3b indicate it was formating the media.  I think I 
do have the option -use-the-force-luke=spare:none in the program options 
of K3b.  Or I may have had =ssa:none.  From what I could tell in the 
source file dvd+rw-format.cpp it should be equivalent.  When I reviewed 
the log file the option was placed at the end of the reported growisofs 
command.  I do recall looking for it and confirming it was there.

Performance is not really any better using BD-R either.  So I have been 
considering just using BD-RE media since it appears to be working well.

Thanks once again,
James
