Unable to burn DVDs

Unable to burn DVDs

[Laurent CARON]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to 2.6.10 and tried (today) to burn a dvd with 
growisofs.

It seems there is a problem

Here is the output


# growisofs -Z /dev/scd0 -R -J ~/foobar

WARNING: /dev/scd0 already carries isofs!

Needless to say it works fine with 2.6.9

Am I missing something?

Thanks

Is it actually a scsi device?

I haven't tried myself with 2.6.10 yet, but with 2.6.9 and older I have
just used /dev/hda to access my dvd writer.  Seemed much better than
ide-scsi at least.  Of course if it is usb or firewire I guess the scsi
interface is required.

Same when using /dev/hdc or /dev/scd0

I remember ide-scsi being broken now since you can use /dev/hdX directly for 
writing CDs.

/dev/hdX of course won't work if ide-scsi is loaded, I guess.

Its using /dev/scd0 which is just fine. It also read the volume
successfully since it was able to warn that the drive already had an fs
and to get the write speed and other properties.

Do you have /dev/hdc?
Also if you have scsi emulation loaded it (IIRC) eats your normal device. 
Just try without it.

Also there is packet cdrw/dvd+-rw driver in kernel now (2.6.10?) that 
permits you to mount normal filesystem (for example UDF, but FAT or ISO - 
readonly of course or EXT2 or any other but better for your media without 
journal) on such device.

I don't want UDF

I've got susekotd-2.6.8-0, which is a 2.6.9-rc2 if I'm not mistaken.

No, it's all read-write, see 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=110297545900945&w=2
(It's really readwrite, no "-o ro" done by user- or kernelspace)

Hi!

For me, dvd writing works only when I run growisofs with root
permissions (using 2.6.10 kernel, /dev/hdc without ide-scsi)

For me when running growisofs  with user permissions on 2.6.10 (ide-cd) it 
works perfectly 1st time but 2nd time fails with the error below. It works 
fine when run as root.

:-( unable to PREVENT MEDIA REMOVAL: Operation not permitted

As an aside audio cd burning with cdrecord works as long as the '-text' option 
isn't used, if it is the process hangs.

I reported a similar thing with cdrecord, writing a first session 
successfully using the -multi flag, but not being able to append to it 
or read the size with the "-msinfo" flag. I was totally blown off and 
told I didn't have permissions on the device, even though I was able to 
write to it.

I believe the true answer is that the SCSI command filter is blocking a 
command needed to perform the operation, probably a command to lock the 
door of the drive. In my case I have permissions to write the CD, just 
not to read the info needed to write additional sessions.

Thank you, I will try to get it in tomorrow if I can replicate the issue 
with a USB CD burner, otherwise I will have to wait until Fri or Sat to 
try it on an IDE atached unit. Or I can try to get it going in my 
laptop, that has an FC2 install right now, so it should (eventually) 
build a kernel ;-)

Hi

Thanks, this fixes it. I can now burn more than 1 DVD as a user.

It worked fine under 2.6.9.

Took my old .config and compiled 2.6.10, just plain 2.6.10

According to the Mt Fuji spec, 4/08/03 means:

        LOGICAL UNIT COMMUNICATION CRC ERROR (ULTRA-DMA/32)

I don't know what could be causing this error though.

	Hi;

	Using 2.6.10... (this hasnt happend under previous kernels,
but I cant swear as to the last one I burned a dvd under.)
	I too had a strange thing happen when I just tried to burn a
dvd with growisofs. First, it didnt work as non-root. (failed
with unable to set MODE, no dmesg) So, I became root, and it burnt all
right. But then the media wouldnt eject when I hit the eject
button. As a regular user I used the 'eject' command, but it
failed. I ran 'eject' as root, and it claimed to fail, but
actually ejected the disc.
	We see this in dmesg:
program eject is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, p lease convert it to SG_IO
scsi: unknown opcode 0x1e

	After this, though is when things get odd. Xine failed to play
any dvd in the drive-- well, it would play the menu intro, but fail when
you clicked on a title. mplayer did better, but bombed out when I tried
to seek, and the drive refused to eject the disc after using any of 
these programs by hitting the manual button, but required root to run
the 'eject' command. No dmesg errors.
	I rebooted and things work as expected with xine and mplayer
on the dvd drive now. I dont know if the burning process was responsible
for messing up the drive state, or if it was possibly that I had 
previously used the pktcdvd driver... since I notice that there was
a kernel pktcdvd thread running previously, and not now. I wish I
had thought to tear down the pktcdvd association before rebooting...
	Anyway, Ill probably burn another dvd soon, and see what happens.
