Hello!
Earlier, my plextor px708a happily wrote almost 4700000000 bytes (4.7GB in marketing speak). A couple of weeks ago, the troubles began. Growisofs still writes that much without an error message. But reading them back gives an IO error at about 4300000000 Bytes:
~ # dd if=/dev/cdrecorder of=/dev/null 8388604+0 records in 8388604+0 records out 4294965248 bytes (4.3 GB) copied, 964.8 seconds, 4.5 MB/s
My first guess was that the media (RW) was bad, so I tried some new ones. Then, I decided to change the burner, but Plextor px716a has the same problem.
Now I noticed that the error is always at the same position. Please note that 4294965248==0xfffff800, which looks pretty much like an integer overflow to me.
When I installed suse-10.0 (professional, ot opensuse), everything worked as expected. Since I run YOU regularly, I assume that one of the updates is responsible for this problem. But I can't say which update exactly.
Any ideas?
BTW: ~ $ uname -a Linux raven 2.6.13-15.8-default #1 Tue Feb 7 11:07:24 UTC 2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
PS: I tried to search bugzilla, but it looks like a login is required to search it?

You could always register with Bugzilla. That way you could do the search. It should be open for anybody to register. -- ============================================== I am only human, please forgive me if I make a mistake it is not deliberate. ============================================== Xmas may be over but, PLEASE DON'T drink and drive you'll make it to the next one that way.
