I set stream_recording off yesterday and did a run at the end of the
day.  The screen output appeared that it worked OK.  Then the cron ran
the script this morning and it took over 2 hours.  But it failed again,
however in different locations.

This is exactly the same media and drive as earlier.  The problems in
different locations. That has been typical of all the media as well.  I
have not placed any stickers or labels on the media that can cause
balance issues.  The final results of check media below.  Sorry about
the output being so long.  I suspect the good/slow items are again the
media. It reports 4 as unreadable so I must have missed one.

SORRY

I also suspected the drive since this is a new machine I just built to
replace the old backup server.  So I tried the USB drive from the old
server but had the same problem.  The USB drive had a separate power
supply as well.  So I then had to conclude it was the media.  That is
why I purchased another set and found the "for Data" thinking it was
higher standards.  Overall the same problem continues.

At the present time I am of the opinion that BD-RE is just too
unreliable to continue working with it for data purposes.

I might try another method of using the media like a tape drive by
writing the tar file directly.  I think xorriso will do that from the
man page.

Thank you for your consideration and assistance,
James
