cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=2 -v fs=8m -dao bla.iso < then the drive complains about this: cdrecord: Input/output error. mode select g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error CDB: 55 10 00 00 00 00 00 00 3C 00 status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION) Sense Bytes: F0 00 05 00 00 00 00 19 00 01 4E 14 26 00 00 00 Sense Key: 0x5 Illegal Request, Segment 0 Sense Code: 0x26 Qual 0x00 (invalid field in parameter list) Fru 0x0 Sense flags: Blk 0 (valid) cmd finished after 0.021s timeout 200s cdrecord: Warning: using default CD write parameter data.

Then I do just the same without the -dao parameter (and ejects): cdrecord dev=1,0,0 speed=2 -v fs=8m -eject bla.iso My past 4 burns went without problems. I hope that the -dao parameter actually does something to the drive (and it is not reset, because the tray stays closed). I take the errors for granted and just start the normal process. Perhaps I have been lucky until now. The time will learn. Greetz, Sebastiaan
