Hi, > mrvn@storage:~% xorriso -outdev /dev/hda > Media status : is blank
Allegedly no impact. Did you always use the same medium or did you try several ones from that pack ? > mrvn@storage:~% cat iso | xorriso -as cdrecord -v dev=/dev/hda -eject - > libburn : FATAL : SCSI error on write(544,16): [3 0C 00] Write error As expected. Omitting the RESERVE TRACK command did only postpone the error until WRITE commands shall be performed. I assume that 544 blocks (~ 1 MB) is in the range of the drive's buffer size. So it aborted when the first physical write operations were due to happen. Hard to say anything else but that the drive does not work well with the media. Googling "GSA-4163B" ... 2005. Were there already 8x DVD+R DL media in 2005 ? Further googling yields the promise to write 4x. And it has 2 MB of buffer. So it was only half full when the first WRITE command failed. It would be worth a try with "2.4x" or "4x" media. The effective write speed itself cannot be the reason, as the failure happens early during writing or even before writing. But the "8x" media might be too modern for the drive. If you have access to a newer drive, try them there, Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
