i've been using xcdroast for years on my thinkpad, but it consistently reports errors duplicating disks on my new desktop. i was trying to duplicate an ISO disk. i tried several input disks (as well as isos on my hard drive) and many output blank disks, both CDR and CDRW.
the xcdroast always reports the error after fixation, the scales are always 100% and 99% for read and write and yet there do not seem to be obvious errors in the logs, plus the newly-created disks mount and look good, and i've even booted off one of them. i have tried all sorts of options but the failures are always the same. note that when i use mondo, i burn using the same Plextor drive and the same batch of CDR and CDRWs and these disks are fine (i know, i've restored my system from them at least twice!) any ideas? -rei ------ trying to write a CDR------- Calling: /usr/lib/xcdroast-0.98/bin/xcdrwrap CDRECORD dev= "1,0,0" gracetime=2 fs=16384k driveropts=burnfree,noforcespeed -v -useinfo speed=10 -dao -eject -pad -overburn tsize=357664s -waiti -data - scsidev: '1,0,0' scsibus: 1 target: 0 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.25 Error trying to open /dev/scd0 exclusively ... retrying in 1 second. cdrecord: Warning: using inofficial libscg transport code version (schily - Red Hat-scsi-linux-sg.c-1.75-RH '@(#)scsi-linux-sg.c 1.75 02/10/21 Copyright 1997 J.
