Would you say the following points to a media failure, that is a
faulty production of this specific disc?
$ ls -l /cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
-r--r--r-- 1 root root 717842384 Jan 18 19:36
/cdrom/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX
it gives many messages about
hda: cdrom_decode_status: error=0x30
hda: cdrom_decode_status:
status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
when I dd it to /dev/null.
In general it is only partially {readable,useable}. I don't have
problems with the very few CD media that I use from time to time.
Further more, when I actually try to use it, as opposed to dd it to
/dev/null, this particular CD media is sometimes one of
1. readable
2. readable to a useable extent
3. partially readable as to not being useable
depending on the boot parameters it is given. I get many error messages
with regard to cloop being unable to uncompress sectors, partial reads
and so on.
