Hi,
after burning a DVD I rsync'ed the whole DVD back to the hard disk to
check if there are no read errors. Suddenly a bad sector appeard and the
log file started filling with entries
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 {
AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 }
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 16613856
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block
4153464
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 {
DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 {
AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 }
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 16613856
Oct 10 13:08:38 galois kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block
4153464
Now, I tried to stop this somehow:
- the rsync can't be killed, not even as root with kill -9.
- umounting with -l claimed to work, but I couldn't eject the DVD
- finally, after about 10 minutes I ejected the DVD physically from the
drive, but Linux doesn't care about this? rsync is still running and
can't be killed, and the logfile still fills with entries like
above every few seconds (with increasing sector numbers), although
the DVD has not been in the drive for more than 15 minutes now.
How can I stop this? Why can't I kill the rsync and how can I make
the drive recognize there is no DVD anymore? Some way to reset the
drive or sth.?
cu,
Frank
