The 2.6 kernel's CD/DVD driver has the unfortunate propensity to read ahead past the end of a CD/DVD. It then reports an error, even if the actual read request was completely legitimate. See, for example, <https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-March/msg02774.html>
The conventional work-around is to always pad when writing a CD/DVD. Ugly, but true. (I agree that this isn't the correct fix, but the problem has not been fixed in a year, so it isn't going away soon.) See, for example, <https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2005-March/msg03201.html> growisofs can burn a pre-mastered image. It would be nice if there was a way to ask it to add to this burn a specified amount of padding. The only way I know of accomplishing it is to actually pad the image file. Not very elegant or convenient. (It breaks any signature too.) One suggestion: implement -pad and -padsize options. When I try one of these, I get an error message: /usr/bin/growisofs: no mkisofs options are permitted with =, aborting... Not very clear. Essentially, it means that some options are not supported when growisofs is doing all the work itself. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
