Hi Thomas. sorry that it has taken a while to get back to you. the drive failed completely, would not read or write. i have perchased another drive, and that is workig ok. the srange this is that if you use the Disks program in utilities. it shows the drive as read only. this is what got me thinking that ubuntu was at fault.
thank you for your time and assistance. many thanks Chris On Fri, 2020-09-25 at 09:01 +0000, Thomas Schmitt wrote: > Correction: > The single command READ DISC INFORMATION probably did not timeout, > but was repeated > with intermediate waiting until 30 seconds had elapsed.
