Hi, > Yes, I have read-write permissions.
Something does not work properly. Are any related messages to see in the output of dmesg ? > I tried xorriso to fix the disc as well but it also fails. What did you try and what did it report when it failed ? (We could get a log of SCSI commands from xorriso by command -scsi_log on .) > > > root@transponder:/home/garydale# dvd+rw-format -force=full /dev/sr0 > > > * formatting .:-[ FORMAT UNIT failed with SK=5h/INVALID FIELD IN > > > PARAMETER LIST]: Input/output error > I've seen mention of this in some of my google searches on the various > messages I've been getting. Can you elaborate on how to change the format > type from the command line? If you use -force without "=full" then you get sub-type 3. >From dvd+rw-format.cpp: if (full && (formats[i+4+4]>>2)!=0x31) formats[i+4+4] |= 2;// "Full Certificaton" else if ((formats[i+4+4]>>2)==0x30) formats[i+4+4] |= 3;// "Quick Certification" But i do not see the formatting state of the medium as the cause of your problems. > dd: opening `/dev/sr0': Read-only file system Something is wrong deep in the kernel or in the hardware. A BD-RE should be writable at least for the superuser. But how does this match your report that it fails on another system too ? Very riddling. Can you read raw data from the medium ? dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=16 | wc Have a nice day :) Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
