This only refers to "most" drives. There are known drives that add 7 run out blocks.

People who recommend -raw96r instead of -sao usually suffer from the hald bug on Linux that causes hald to distrurb CD writing. The best solution for that problem is to kill hald ;-) kill -STOP ` pgrep hald ` Jörg -- EMail:jo...@schily.isdn.cs.tu-berlin.de (home) Jörg Schilling D-13353 Berlin j...@cs.tu-berlin.de(uni) joerg.schill...@fokus.fraunhofer.de (work) Blog: http://schily.blogspot.com/ URL: http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/ ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/schily -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to cdwrite-requ...@other.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

The best solution for that problem is to kill hald ;-) kill -STOP ` pgrep hald ` Noted. Since the only mode which seems to have a hope of working is TAO from what people have said, raw96r seems to be a side track. And I would certainly edit the configuration rather than just kill hal and do all the associated work by hand., -- Bill Davidsen "Woe unto the statesman who makes war without a reason that will still be valid when the war is over..."
