I've had some trouble with my cd writer lately, and I'm not sure if
it's cause the drive is a little old or if it's because I've been using
this option. I turned it on for all my drives, and got a nice speed
boost for it (plus wineX games don't stutter when they hit the cd drive
anymore :). I'm running mandrake 9.1 with kernel 2.4.21-0.13 on an Asus
87N8X, and burning with k3b .9 using a sony CRX195E1 at 40x with no
buffer underruns. I've had no troubles with my harddisks, but my
cd-burner is making drink coasters. The files show up when the drive is
mounted, and can even be copied off the disk, but are useless. It's
mostly video, and mplayer can't play them (or strangly in one case
couldn't seek in one of the files it could play). On some disks the
files are fine, on some they're trash. Can anyone advise me on how
dangerous this setting is? The drive isn't that old and I'd hate to
replace a perfectly good drive, but it's possible it's dying. Thanks again.
