Hi, i read Rob W's mail to Joerg:

Is the CentOS x86 machine a different one than the Windows machine ? Ok, need to reconsider: There is no hard reason why a drive and a particular media should work with Windows and not with Solaris or Linux. I am quite sure that NeroLinux was tested with BD-R. I can write BD-R via a LG BD-RE GGW-H20L on Linux. NeroLinux reported a write error with no error indication from the drive. Can it be that not the drive is ill but the transport ? Out of suspicion for now are the machines (2 different ones failing). But what about the USB cable and the USB controller of the drive ? Does it help to unplug and replug the cable at both ends ? Is the success with Windows really reproducible in several attempts ? (I once hunted a bug with DVD-RW where cdrecord seemed to work ok, and libburn seemed to fail. After eight attempts, cdrecord began to fail and libburn began to show successes. Shrug.) Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to cdwrite-requ...@other.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@other.debian.org
