| This error appears *only* in simulated mode and it does not mean that

| disregarded. Purpose of simulated test is rather to see if your system
| sustains the load.

Thanks for the explanation!

Is this documented anywhere?

Is this a forgivable flaw in the drive or is this an expected/legal
result on a standards-conforming drive?

If it is an expected/legal result, some part of the software ought to stop
scaring innocent users with drastic-sounding messages :-)


I find the undocumented growisofs -use-the-force-luke flag intriguing.
Is there a reason not to document it?
