LBA=10h means that the second WRITE command yielded a failure message
from the drive. The accusation is strange.

I have seen this only with cdrecord yet, when the Linux kernel reported
(falsely) to cdrecord that the bytes of the previous WRITE command had
not been transmitted. cdrecord then repeated the WRITE command and got
above error reply.

Looking at the code of function poor_mans_pwrite64() in growisofs_mmc.cpp
  https://sources.debian.net/src/dvd%2Brw-tools/7.1-11/growisofs_mmc.cpp/#L466
it seems that growisofs repeats WRITE commands only when the drive invites
this by one of two "NOT READY" replies: "LONG WRITE IN PROGRESS" and
"IN PROCESS OF BECOMING READY".

Whatever, this behavior is not normal.

RMA means "Recording Management Area". This is on DVD-R what Table-of-Content
is on CD-R. It records the structure of sessions and tracks.

growisofs says "updating RMA" before it issues the CLOSE TRACK/SESSION
command at the end of a DVD-R run with write type "Incremental".
  https://sources.debian.net/src/dvd%2Brw-tools/7.1-11/growisofs_mmc.cpp/#L1908

If you can talk K3B into using write type "DAO" (aka "Disc-at-Once"),
then this might be worth a try.
Given the endurance with failure, i have few hope for success, though.

Afaik, the lasers for CD and DVD are different devices inside the burner.
(I recently had the case that a Blu-ray burner lost its sight for BD media
but not for DVD or CD.)


Have a nice day :)

Title:
  growisofs bug

Status in dvd+rw-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I am using K3b to burn data DVD's. I have been using the program for
  years with no problems. But now, the program will not burn data
  DVk3bD's. It claims to be 'flushing the cache' which I have never seen
  before. it then cancels without writing anything.

  Here is the debugging report:

  I believe the problem lies in the growisofs program, for I have tried
  other burning programs and the same thing occurs
