Plextor DMA problem on Linux
Hi, I've a puzzling problem and hope someone's experience can help me. I have quite a recent Plextor 48/24/48 burner attached to my Linux system (currently 2.4.23-rc2) This drive has been running initially with my kernel which enables DMA by default. Now I cannot use the drive anymore under such a kernel. readcd dev=0,1,0 -f /dev/null works but that's special cased since readcd dev=0,1,0 -f - | cat >/dev/null DOESN'T work and even a normal 'mount' doesn't work. Always, I see a DMA timeout error on kern.log. I've tried various things like the boot parameters acpi=off and I've connected the drive to the other cable of my VIA vt82c686a onboard controller. Nothing help. Then I regenerated the kernel with the option 'DMA for disks only' and now I have no problems with the drive except a simple readcd now produces a system load of more than 90% (on an otherwise idle system) and the read speed drops to 4250 kb/s instead of 7056 kb/s as reported by readcd initially. Is my drive defect now (just the DMA logic) ? This occurred before and after upgrading the drive's BIOS to the most recent version. Or is it a Linux problem, but that's hard to believe since even an older kernel which has run fine with this drive doesn't run anymore with this drive. Any ideas and comments are more than welcome, Helmut Jarausch Lehrstuhl fuer Numerische Mathematik RWTH - Aachen University D 52056 Aachen, Germany

Re: Re: DVD recording adventures continued
> Why do you believe that the drive does not work at all with cdrecord? > I could use it with my tests... Well, just read my threads in the list for details. In short: when I had the NEC before, I used proDVD for recording DVD+R without problems - but DVD-R did not work (find a lot of details/logs in the thread "DVD recording adventures", started somewhere at beginning of November, cant check as archive seems to be down currently). Now with the Plextor, DVD-R does not work in the same way. My try with DVD+R recorded up to 100%, but got stuck when closing track/session. See thread "DVD recording adventures continued", well, this one :) I only can use the Plextor successfully with growisofs, but not with a certain medium brand (DVD+R Imation). Verbatim, Ricoh and cheap Platinum worked (+R), and cheap -R from Sky and Intenso. Perhaps you can tell something when looking at the proDVD-output. Btw. here is what I got back from Plextor: Dear Sir, I will forward this information to our engineering department since they decide on the information available on this webpage. Kind regards,.. Hope you had better luck. Or maybe engineering will really.. FL

See thread "DVD recording adventures continued", There is another problem with DVD+, it seems that all DVD+ drives not made by Ricoh don't follow the SCSI standards. As you may have noticed, I was a bit disappointed by some DVD experiences in the first half of this year. I spend a lot of time with Linux kernel bugs that are only present because the Linux Polit office kernel development model creates more and more problems for making Linux ready for the future. Linus Torvalds is one of the biggest problems for Linux :-( but let is stay closer to the topic: All newer DVD writers have problems in the firmware and don't follow SCSI standards if they are supporting DVD+. I guess this is a result of the marketing strategy of Ricoh. Ricoh did try to dominate the DVD+ market and miserably failed. After that time, a lot of companies started with DVD+ drives but did lack experience because they have been forced to buy Ricoh OEM drives before.

Yup, I think it was broken - the replacement seems better - so far! Does someone keep a list of drive types etc.? When the drive was broken, I tried to find out about it, looking for firmware upgrades etc...

Boost Your Car's Gas Mileage 27%+.....aisling
FUEL SAVER PRO This revolutionary device Boosts Gas Mileage 27%+ by helping fuel burn better using three patented processes from General Motors. www.bb4n.org/?axel=49 PROVEN TECHNOLOGY A certified U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) laboratory recently completed tests on the new Fuel Saver. The results were astounding! Master Service, a subsidiary of Ford Motor Company, also conducted extensive emissions testing and obtained similar, unheard of results. The achievements of the Fuel Saver is so noteworthy to the environmental community, that Commercial News has featured it as their cover story in their June, 2000 edition.

Re: Re: DVD recording adventures continued
I used windows to upgrade the firmware to 1.03. Once you go past 1.01 to 1.02 or 1.03 you can't flash it back to 1.01. You can flash back to 1.02 from 1.03. I have not tried cdrecord at all yet except for cd-r media so I can't say whether I also exhibit any problems. If you let me know what circumstances you have a problem I can try to duplicate here.

/dev/raw/raw? and growisofs and DVD+R
I've been using growisofs to burn to /dev/scd0 with success.
I'm using a PX-708A with DVD+R Verbatim disks.
But its very slow.
So I read up and it looks like if I can burn using the
raw io interface after binding /dev/scd0 to /dev/raw/raw1.
I get this error message from "growisofs -Z /dev/raw/raw1 blah"
after binding:
:-( unable to open64("/dev/raw/raw1",O_RDWR): Read-only file system
I've checked and /dev/scd0 and /dev/raw/raw1 are both
chmod 666 - I tried chmod 777 just for good measure too.
I don't get this error message with /dev/scd0. And I can't
find any reference to this error online. So I thought I'd
turn to you all.
