Thank you for your advice. I went to FreshMeat and compiled the latest
version of cdrecord-1.9 (mine was 1.8) and still the same
problem. Moreover, when I try to blank a cd-rW disk, cdrecord aborts with:
root@va bin]# /opt/schily/bin/cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=0,6,0 blank=all >
/tmp/record.txt
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Drive needs to reload the media to return to
proper status.
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Input/output error. blank unit: scsi
sendcmd: retryable error
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: Cannot blank disk, aborting.
The perplexing thing is that everything worked fine the other night and I
have made no changes to my system since.
