Hi, Ehh, I'm very sure I've seen it with DVDs too, and the read-ahead size there was larger. In that case we should try to reproduce the problem. At least the Linux kernel would need another reason why to misperceive the size of the medium on the first hand. In case of CD it is obviously the

Hi, The second set of error messages were from cdrtools from the brandonsnider ppa. Obviously cdrecord resp. one of its forks, indeed. The error messages are much more verbose -- Not that I'm smart enough to be able to really understand them that well. Actually the beef is the sense code
