Looks like a common problem with both K3b and xcdroast on both SuSE 9.1 & 9.2
K3b and xcdroast are only frontends to growisofs and cdrecord.
Correct.
Chances are that either they do not pass the simulation option to the writing program, or the problem is with the writing program itself not honoring that option.
Acording to the log, the option is passed: Calling: /usr/X11R6/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDRECORD dev= "ATA:1,0,0" gracetime=2 fs=16384k driveropts=burnfree -v -useinfo speed=4 -dao -dummy -eject -pad -data "/nuevo/dvd_data.iso" ... The option "-dummy" is present, it is passed to xcdrwrap at least; I don't know what it does. The interesting point is that several people report the same problem, so chances are that it is a software problem. I could try cdrecord directly, but I never did. Then we should report to feedback, I think.
When I go home, I may take a look what happens. I have never tried simulation mode, so I'm not sure.
