Package: dvd+rw-tools Version: 6.1-2 Severity: important growisofs on a 2.4.32 kernel fails immediately with the nondescript error:
:-( write failed: Invalid argument It turns out that this is because growisofs uses O_DIRECT to read the .iso image, which is broken on 2.4.32 with ext3: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_frm/thread/cbc0c9986ef5752e That discussion seems to suggest that this is a kernel problem rather than a growisofs problem, but no kernel solution is proposed there, and it's very easy to work around by undefining O_DIRECT in growisofs.c. -jim -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17.4 Locale: LANG=POSIX, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages dvd+rw-tools depends on: ii libc6 2.3.6-15 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.1.1-5 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.1.1-5 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii mkisofs 4:2.01+01a03-5 Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem dvd+rw-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
