Your problem is most likely caused by a well known linu xkernel bug that has been accepted a long time ago that for that a 5 line patch exists for a long time......
Check the net for the Linux USB DMA size bug. If the kernel tells cdrecord that it is capable of doing big size DMA but later hangs, cdrecord cannot do much. As the Linux kernel folks seem to be unwilling to integrat the 5 line fix for the kernel, I added a ts= option to cdrtools long time ago. If cdrecord runs without problems in case you use cdrecord ts=31k ..... you verified that your problem is caused by the Linux kerne. BTW: Linux-2.6.8.1 introduced an incompatible kernel interface change that prevents cdrecord from being able to work. This has been done after the _stable_ relase cdrtools-2.01 has been released and for this readon, it took some time to add a workaround into cdrtools. Please upgrade to a recent original cdrtools http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ if you are using a Linu-2.6 series kernel. -- cdrecord hangs with kernel >= 2.6.10 and cyberdrive cdrw https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
