Now that I replaced the IDE burner with a SATA burner, the behavior is different (and I would say even worse): - After blanking the drive is still spinning with the access light on. - The disk cannot be ejected, even after a reboot. Power cycling works though.

This is with a Pioneer BDR-208BKS if that makes a difference.

It makes not differences, DVD+RW media _cannot_ be blanked..... I have no idea what brasero or growisofs do when you tell it to "blank" the media. Cdrecord will overwrite the medium or parts of the medium with nulls and it will tell you that it _simulates_ blanking by overwriting. If growisofs hangs for ever, it is broken and it may make sense to use cdrecord instead. Regarding the ability to "detect" the medium: unless you look into toe recorded data, you cannot distinct a properly written medium from a medium that was overwritten by nulls. If the system does not like to use the medium anymore after the overwriting did finish, this may be just another bug in hald. Could you manually call cdrecord -v blank=fast on such a medium and try again? Please note that you need to use the original cdrecord from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ or the SuSe binary packages as wodim does not support DVDs. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

If you post the whole original output, we can point you to your problem...... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
