I can't mount the dvd on my dvdrw drive. On the other hand I can mount it my dvdr-rom drive. The command find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum | grep FAIL does not find problem, but I get I/O errors in syslog: Jun 29 15:33:23 gandalf kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Jun 29 15:33:23 gandalf kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdd, sector 4945660 Jun 29 15:33:23 gandalf kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 1236415 Jun 29 15:33:30 gandalf kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Jun 29 15:33:30 gandalf kernel: hdd: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 } Jun 29 15:33:30 gandalf kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown And now the drive seems to be stuck.

This is flushed on eject, when the disk is inserted again the drive needs to "re-acquire". I can only come to one of these 3 conclusions: 1) the drive is faulty. 2) The media is faulty to start with, and is certainly faulty now. 3) The drive is unable to burn that particular media correctly, but it's close to borderline (otherwise there would be a total failure). In either of these cases the burnt disk is a coaster and not suitable as backup. Whenever there is read trouble and you're unsuere whether it's to do with the filesystem, *always* disregard the filesystem and read with dd directly from the device, like dd bs=2k if=/dev/dvdrecorder of=/dev/null. You're allowed *one* I/O error at the very end of the recording. Any more, and either or both drive and disk are faulty. There is basically no leeway for other options here if you care about your data.

Reading the error/warning output could. I quoted the relevant part above. You're using the unbelievably old, very, very deprecated "ATAPI" device interface. This API does not support DMA at all. The fact that using_dma is on is irrelevant; this API disables DMA no matter what. Solution: Address the drive as "ATA:0,0,0" instead of "ATAPI:0,0,0". Note: Noone can guarantee that DMA will work using ATA:. The Linux kernel drivers seem to be generally crappy in this area. But with this API, there's at least a theoretical chance for DMA. @JÃrg: Is it actually useful to keep this interface around? Any real-world reason to use it? I suggest removing it and aliasing ATAPI: to ATA: in future versions. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
