So this started happening for absolutely no reason? Could be a hardware failure...
cdrecord 1.9 came out 1999. I highly recommend you upgrade to the latest version (1.11a12) before we jump to any conclusions (I'm swinging toward hardware failure).
Well, you could be right, but just to check it out a little more, I switched to my Toshiba DVD drive as the read drive and got a similar response, only this timw the Fifo buffer filled to 100%, stayed there, while the writer quite at 3%. Switching to the windoze side of the house I get the CDs to write using either drive - Todhiba DVD or Nec CD-ROM for read and the Plextor to write. However, I note that I can always get a write to completion if I wrtie first to the hard drive and then from the hard drive to the Plestor but not always if I do a direct disk to disk. Of course this is different software, cdclone, so that may give some credence to your hardware thoughts even though the cd --> HD --> cd always works. I've downloaded the latest x-cd-roast and cdrcord and will install those next to see if it help any.
