 Hi all,
 
 I'm trying to get my CD drive to work without so much success.
 Reading is fine, but when I try to burn a CD I get errors in dmesg.

 This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command
 cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting.
 cdrecord: Some drives do not support all blank types.
 cdrecord: Try again with cdrecord blank=all.

So what happened when you tried the blank=all option instead of your blank=fast?
You did try that, didn't you?

I did, sorry I didn't mention that. It shows the same errors.

 I'm trying to get my CD drive to work without so much success.
 Reading is fine, but when I try to burn a CD I get errors in dmesg.

Using cdrecord -blank=fast dev=3,0,0 I get:

First, I hope that you are using sysutils/cdrtools-devel rather than
sysutils/cdrtools.  The latter is several years out of date, and the
upstream maintainer of the software has said that no one should be
using it, but the maintainer of the FreeBSD port has so far been
unwilling to update it.

...

And dmesg shows:
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BUFFER ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00
acd0: FAILURE - MODE_SELECT_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x26 ascq=0x00

It is not unusual for some errors to appear, even during normal
operation, so these don't necessarily indicate a problem, although it
was good that you posted them.  You should run the cdrecord command
with -vv (yes, two v's) to get verbose error messages from cdrecord.
This should give you a better idea of why cdrecord is failing.  If the
error messages from -vv are not enough, you can also add -VV, although
this affects the timing of the operations, and should be used with
care when recording.

I have had problems like this in the past, when a disk was corrupted,
and cdrecord balked at blanking it.  I used blank=all with either the
-immed flag, or the -force flag, or both, to solve the problems.

If you are using cdrtools, you should probably use the cd(4) driver
together with atapicam(4), rather than the acd(4) driver.  To prevent
possible problems, it is safer to prevent both drivers from attaching
to the same device.  I usually remove:

device atapicd

from my kernel, and just use:

device ata
device atapicam
device scbus
device cd
device pass

I don't know whether it is possible to disable the acd(4) driver using
just loader.conf(5), device.hints(5), or some other means at boot- or
run-time, but you could look into that if you don't want to go to the
trouble of removing it from your kernel.

Honestly I didn't think this was the problem, but it seems I've had a
bad virgin CD set.
Two of them (of a set of 5) seem to work fine. I can write, rewrite
and blank them.

Aaarrghh! sorry for the noise. Nevertheless, I will try to update to
cdrtools-devel since I have cdrtools installed

Thanks to all of you.

7.2 burncd and cdrecord problem

2009-08-14 Thread Fernando Apesteguía
Hi all,

I'm trying to get my CD drive to work without so much success.
Reading is fine, but when I try to burn a CD I get errors in dmesg.

Using cdrecord -blank=fast dev=3,0,0 I get:

[...]
Using generic SCSI-3/mmc   CD-ROM driver (mmc_cd).
Driver flags   : MMC-3 SWABAUDIO BURNFREE
Supported modes: TAO PACKET SAO SAO/R96P SAO/R96R RAW/R16 RAW/R96P RAW/R96R
Starting to write CD/DVD at speed 18 in real BLANK mode for single session.
Last chance to quit, starting real write0 seconds. Operation starts.
This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command
cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting.
cdrecord: Some drives do not support all blank types.
cdrecord: Try again with cdrecord blank=all.

And dmesg shows:
acd0: FAILURE - READ_BUFFER ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x24 ascq=0x00
acd0: FAILURE - MODE_SELECT_BIG ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x26 ascq=0x00

Using burncd blank I get:

burncd: ioctl(CDRIOCBLANK): Input/output error

and in dmesg:

acd0: FAILURE - BLANK_CMD ILLEGAL REQUEST asc=0x30 ascq=0x05

The drive works perfectly with other OS, so I don't think the hardware
is the problem.

The device is identified as:
acd0: DVDR TSSTcorp CDDVDW TS-H653N/0208 at ata3-master SATA150

I have scbus, atapicd and atapicam in my kernel configuration.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

First thing I'd suspect is that your drive is a read-only, write-only,
but no rewrite, so that means it's unable to blank RW medium.

The 'DVDR' and CDDVDW both indicate a write once kind of mindset.


does the bezel on the drive itself say rewrite anywhere?

Check the output of

% cdrecord -prcap dev=3,0,0

which will list what the drive does support.
