Hi, > I'm trying to burn a DVD+RW with cdrecord and get a floating point > exception. Can't make out what the error means.
You are using wodim, not cdrecord. The floating point error is only a final glitch after writing already failed. > Sending CUE sheet... The program has few clue about DVD+RW. You probably caused this by option -dao. > CDB: 2A 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 1F 00 > status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) > Sense Bytes: 70 00 05 00 00 00 00 0A 00 00 00 00 30 10 00 00 > Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 > Sense Code: 0x30 Qual 0x10 (medium not formatted) Fru 0x0 That's the very first write attempt. Already failing. Looks like the program did not start background formatting on unformatted DVD+RW media before writing began. It is advisable to use a different program for DVD purposes. E.g: growisofs, cdrecord, cdrskin, xorriso. (I am author of the latter two.) DVD+RW should be simply writeable via their device file. Try: dd if=newworld.iso bs=2048 of=/dev/dvd Maybe the kernel is smarter than the burn program. Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
