It is necesssary to first test whether you're running into said kernel bug, before considering other possibilities. For this, you will need to set read-ahead to zero, not something small. hdparm -a0 /dev/hdd will do it. So might blockdev. Check with hdparm /dev/hdd Note this will make your DVD drive very slow. It is sufficient to disable read-ahead from another shell while your reading is going on, as long as you make sure that you do it well before the kernel reads near the end of the recording. > What next ?
