I had to burn 20 CDs. All but one of the first 18 went off OK; I put the single failure down to a faulty disk. But after I'd done 18 they all started failing. I tried a disk from a different source but the same thing happened. I then tried to burn disks in a different computer (running the same version of Debian) and the same failure occurred.
The error message is as follows: =============================================== cdrecord: Warning: Running on Linux-2.6.17-1-k7 cdrecord: There are unsettled issues with Linux-2.5 and newer. cdrecord: If you have unexpected problems, please try Linux-2.4 or Solaris. scsidev: '/dev/hdd' devname: '/dev/hdd' scsibus: -2 target: -2 lun: -2 Warning: Open by 'devname' is unintentional and not supported.

I tried reverting to 2.6.16 without effect. Google shows other people with a similar error message but no ready solution. I can't understand why the first 18 disks went off almost perfectly and then the errors started appearing. Time for a bug report perhaps?
