This perfectly agrees with other reports when some kind of automounting facility was involved. "This" means "NEC unit, DVD+RW works, DVD+R fails at LBA=10h." So keep looking. Once again, autofs is not the *only* suspect. If you run GNOME, look for magicdev, if KDE - Autorun. As for KDE, another user reports as following: "... I disabled "autorun" in KDE (I guess this is analogous to magicdev in GNOME) by moving the file ~/.kde/Autostart/Autorun.desktop down a directory (outside of the Autostart directory), and everything is working great." > New test with Philips DVD+R media: > And finaly Verbatime DVD-R DataLifePlus: > dma has been on but I could not see any impact on the Input/output error > before! It's not a media or DMA issue. Does CD-ROM or CD-Audio media get mounted/played automatically upon load? If yes, which program is reponsible for making it happen? How do I prevent this program from doing that? Note that these are the questions you should ask yourself, as it's your system. A.
