[opensuse] DVD Input/output Error - Cannot read DVD disks
Hello I recently purchased two new DVD burners. Neither of this DVD drive were able to read some DVD R that I burned with my older DVD burner. I am able to read the disk with a windows computer so I do not think there is a problem with the DVD media. I experienced the same problem with both of the DVD burners. I cannot read the first 271 MB of a disk and then will report an Input/output error for the remaining data. Have manufactures moved the error handling from the DVD burner to the Windows driver? Did I purchash two bad DVD burners? The first of DVD burner was a Memorex and my current burner is a Plextor PX-L890SA.

I can read the first 271 MB of a disk and I am unable to read the remaining data on the disk. The system reports Input/output errors when try to acess the later files. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you certain that that particular disk is not scratched or damaged in some other way ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You don't say what is on those DVDs: are they music or video - and with what did you burn them on the old burner. Nor do you say if you could play them on openSUSE with the old DVD cdrom/burner. Thirdly, you don't say how you are trying to read these DVDs: are you trying to play them if they are videos/music or access them using, say, Dolphin. (If you can 'play/read/ them in Windows sounds very much like they are protected and you don't have the necessary codecs installed to be able to do so. While I am on this, what do you have the REGION set to on the new burners?) BC -- "Facts are stupid things."

Hello Thank you for the responses I have tried multiple data disk, on a DVD R media, no scratches. The are backup of my families photos. I burned them on a Plextor PX-870A. They are not copy protected. On each disk I tried the auto mount, if could not access the disk I mounted the disk using the mount command and tried to access the disk from the command line. If there was a problem with the driver then the mailing list would be full of related post. I can access the data from the windows virtual machine running in vmware. I may have a problem with vmware.

Thank you Aaron Firstly, as you can see, I have moved your response to the end of the message. Please, do NOT top-post in these mail lists. Either bottom-post or insert your response after the para., or sentence, to which your response relates. Reason for this request is that it makes it easy for people reading this thread to follow the discussion. OK, you left out the answer to one question: which piece of software did you use to burn those data DVDs with the photos and , therefore, on which system did you burn them- Windows or openSUSE? I am asking this because there is something in the back of my mind that I could not read some DVDs/CDs created many years ago using XP because of the different file format used by XP -- but I may be wrong. (Just to be sure, which version of openSUSE are you running and which version of VMware are you using as the client?) BC -- "Facts are stupid things."

I'm not sure if this is related, but I had similar problem when switched from oS 11.1 to 11.3. Some old burned CDs where readable by 11.1 and failed under 11.3 (on the same DVD burner). My impression was that error handling has changed somehow. Older kernel did more retries or probably was less strict. I've not checked these disks recently under 11.4.

Hello The problem has been resolved. I turned of the auto configuration for the CD ROM drive in the BIOS. This was configuring the PIO to 2. I manually set the the PIO to 1 and then I also setting this to 0. I left the DMA setting the same as the autoconfiguration which was UDMA5. After these changes I was able to read the disk that were not working and the drive appears to be responding faster. Motherboard: ASUS P5B-Deluxe CD ROM Drive: Plextor PX-L890SA (This is an SATA Drive) I have not been able to confirm the drive is operating in a DMA mode the hdparm reports an error. # hdparm -d /dev/sr0 /dev/sr0: HDIO_GET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device I am not sure if the SATA is treated as a SCSI or IDE. The man page for the hdparm clams: "...provides a command line interface to various kernel interfaces supported by the Linux SATA/PATA/SAS "libata" subsystem and the older IDE driver subsystem" I was unable to find any of the ata parmeters with the sysctl command. .... It works, at least it reads. Aaron -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
