Bug#732717: growisofs - TRACKING SERVO FAILURE - Input/output error "

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

> isoinfo gave me this.. 

Looks like quite a normal bootable ISO 9660 filesystem image.
Much like the Debian and Ubuntu ISOs which get burned to DVD
all over the world.

Still hard to believe that the problem should sit in this
image and not in burner drive and medium.

How much evidence do you have for your theory ?
(How often did it not work with that image, how often did it
 work with others ? How many media did you try ?)


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

Bug#732717: growisofs - TRACKING SERVO FAILURE - Input/output error "

[Thomas Schmitt]

Hi,

(For some reason my subscription to this bug does not work.
 Better Cc: me.)

The error message originally stems from the drive's firmware.
It is specified in SCSI part MMC as key 4, asc 0x09, ascq 0x01,
but regrettably not much background info is given.
The error name suggests that the laser beam lost its way
while writing its spiral track.

This should not be related to the data content of the blocks
written. Regardless whether ISO 9660, UDF, ext3, tar or whatever
format is represented in those blocks.

UDF is prescribed only for Video DVD and Video Blu-ray, so that
the player devices know where to find the movies.
But it is perfectly ok to write ISO 9660 to DVD or Blu-ray.
I do this every day by my own program xorriso.
And after all, the name "growisofs" stems from a close
affinity of dvd+rw-tools to ISO 9660 resp. program mkisofs.


That said, if you really can reproduce that only this one
filesystem image fails, and that this happens with any DVD
you try, then your drive's firmware has a flaw.

I could not find out what filesystem format is written by
mondorescue. Well, if it has the suffix ".iso" ...
What do shell commands "file" and "isoinfo" tell about it ?

  file /media/DEBIAN-BACKUP-2/Mondo-ISO/mondorescue-1.iso
  isoinfo -d -i /media/DEBIAN-BACKUP-2/Mondo-ISO/mondorescue-1.iso


> (Universal Disk Format (UDF) [...] ECMA-167

Additionally to ECMA-167 one needs UDF-2.60 specs.
Both are available for free.

> For DVD-RW: ISO 9660

ISO 9660 specs are available for free as ECMA-119.


Have a nice day :)

Thomas

I made iso with Mondo Rescue http://www.mondorescue.org
I have no problem with burning other iso's.  I guess this backup tool
creates iso's witch are not  compattible with DVD file system.

Hi,

> :-[ WRITE@LBA=538f0h failed with SK=4h/TRACKING SERVO FAILURE]:

This is a problem between drive and medium.
It does not necessary mean that either of them is bad.
But at least the combination does not work properly.

Try other media. If the problem persists, get another drive.

Have a nice day :)

Thomas
