As a first try, you might want to try giving the -force option and see
whether that works for you.
But, once again, as seems to happen so often on this list, a topic
comes up just as I am about to bring up the subject myself. I am
having some severe problems with writing CDs under Mandrake 7.0; thye
are coming out corrupt!
This is a bit distressing since I have been, and intended to continue,
using CD-ROMs as my primary backup medium. But yesterday I discovered
that although cdrecord thinks that it has succeeeded, the actual
contents of the CDs tend to be corrupt, and if I turn around and "cmp"
a long binary file that I write with cdrecord, it's corrupt.
This did not happen with RedHat 6.1.
I should admit up front that, as a result of problems documented
earlier in the list, I've built my own kernel, but I built it in
exactly the same way that I had built it under RedHat 6.1, so I believe
that the situation is comparable. And I'm burning the same kids of
CDs, at the same speed, on the same hardware, as I was under RedHat.
Any ideas?
