Hi. I encountered an issue when using growisofs 7.1 under debian testing.
Usually, I use the following settings when writing DVD-Rs: >$ growisofs -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0 -volid "smth.1" -volset > "SMTH" -volset-size 1 -volset-seqno 1 -rational-rock -udf -iso-level > -full-iso9660-filenames ./dir-with-data I've tried to write BD-R in the same way, and got this error: > 99.94% done, estimate finish Tue Jan 15 22:55:11 2013 >Total translation table size: 0 >Total rockridge attributes bytes: 15521 >Total directory bytes: 4096 >Path table size(bytes): 24 >Max brk space used 23000 >7029088 extents written (13728 MB) >builtin_dd: 7029088*2KB out @ average 1.6x4390KBps >/dev/sr0: flushing cache >/dev/sr0: closing track >/dev/sr0: closing session >:-[ CLOSE SESSION failed with SK=5h/INVALID FIELD IN CDB]:> >Input/output error /dev/sr0: reloading tray Despite the error, the disc mounts without any problems, and all files on it match their md5-checksums.

Also, there are several mentions about this error in adjacent threads, but any solution has not been found. And I'm sure that this error is exactly the growisofs problem — when I write the same data as a pre-created image using cdrskin (w/ defectmgt enabled) media-info output looks like this: >READ DISC INFORMATION: > Disc status: complete > Number of Sessions: 1 > State of Last Session: complete > Number of Tracks: 1 >READ TRACK INFORMATION[#1]: > Track State: partial incremental > Track Start Address: 0*2KB > Free Blocks: 0*2KB > Track Size: 7029088*2KB > Last Recorded Address: 7029087*2KB >FABRICATED TOC: > Track#1 : 14@0 > Track#AA : 14@7029088 > Multi-session Info: #1@0 >READ CAPACITY: 7029088*2048=14395572224 Actually, the BD-Rs stopped being so expensive (due to LTH), so let's find is the cause of this error. P.S. For clarity: my Asus drive is a full clone of Pioneer BDR-206BK. P.S.2. I still do not understand how cdrskin works when Defect Management enabled. When I use the "blank=format_defectmgt" cdrskin makes two separate passes: formatting and recording. In growisofs it looks like a single pass, but it takes the same time.
