The big problem with Linux in general is that due to a design bug,
there is no way to detect DMA count errors.
Linux does not check the DMA count at all.
OTOS On my Sony VAIO, I get at least the SCSI transport error set to retryable.
With the trace send with the original mail, the mode sense command
which request 2 bytes appears to work 100% correctly. For this reason,
cdrecord has no way to detect the DMA problem.

Right, if the command appears to work how should I see the problem.
