-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have an image file that I want to burn to a dvd using a procedure that worked with this machine when it had SuSE 9.3, but not now. K3b complains when I start it with: cdrecord = 2.6.8 <-- in red color Since Linux kernel 2.6.8 cdrecord Solution: Use K3bSetup to solve this problem. Notice that the message doesn't really says what is the problem, and that there is no K3bSetup program. Anyhow, I'm not interested in k3b at the moment, the problem is somewhere else, read ahead. I try the command line - a command line known to work previously in this machine: nimrodel:~ # time growisofs -Z /dev/hdc=/file3 -speed=4 Executing 'builtin_dd if=/file3 of=/dev/hdc obs=32k seek=0' /dev/hdc: "Current Write Speed" is 4.1x1385KBps. 1114112/4699717632 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 351:26 RBU 100.0% 1114112/4699717632 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 562:18 RBU 100.0% 1114112/4699717632 ( 0.0%) @0.0x, remaining 773:10 RBU 100.0% ... 4676747264/4699717632 (99.5%) @1.1x, remaining 0:09 RBU 68.5% 4693065728/4699717632 (99.9%) @3.4x, remaining 0:02 RBU 19.8% builtin_dd: 2294784*2KB out @ average 1.7x1385KBps /dev/hdc: flushing cache :-[ SYNCHRONOUS FLUSH CACHE failed with SK=3h/ASC=A0h/ACQ=80h]: Input/output error real 33m12.927s user 0m1.512s sys 0m19.525s I can not mount it (fstab is irrelevant, it is a read error, see later): nimrodel:~ # mount /mnt/dvd.crypta2/ Password: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop4, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so (the image is encrypted, but that is irrelevant for the problem) And kernel log shows the error: Sep 27 01:41:35 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 27 01:41:35 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 } Sep 27 01:41:35 nimrodel kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Sep 27 01:41:35 nimrodel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Sep 27 01:41:35 nimrodel kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 } Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 Sep 27 01:41:42 nimrodel kernel: EXT3-fs: unable to read superblock If I try to read back the disk: nimrodel:/biggy # time nice dd if=/dev/hdc of=cdimage dd: reading `/dev/hdc': Input/output error 0+0 records in 0+0 records out 0 bytes (0 B) copied, 13.8115 seconds, 0.0 kB/s real 0m13.905s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.008s And the kernel log shows: Sep 27 02:48:47 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 27 02:48:47 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 } Sep 27 02:48:47 nimrodel kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Sep 27 02:48:47 nimrodel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Sep 27 02:48:47 nimrodel kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 Sep 27 02:48:53 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error } Sep 27 02:48:53 nimrodel kernel: hdc: media error (bad sector): error=0x34 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x03 } Sep 27 02:48:53 nimrodel kernel: ide: failed opcode was: unknown Sep 27 02:48:53 nimrodel kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 0 Sep 27 02:48:53 nimrodel kernel: Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 0 The above was using TDK DVD+R Media, 4.7Gb 1*16 speed, a box I bought today. I have three new tea dishes :-/ I then tried with Emtec DVD-R 8x media, that I had used previously - in fact, the SuSE 10.1 dvd was burnt in one of them using SuSE 9.3.
