(Then you won't have to worry about different CD-R quirks) I have an Acer CRW 6202A which doesn't seem to work with FreeBSD (current as of five minutes ago, including the rev 1.19 of atapi-cd.c). "wormcontrol blank" (with a CD-RW of course) runs for a little while, then aborts with an I/O error. Also, all IDE devices are completely locked up while it's running. The dd also sort of works for a while, then gets an I/O error. Same with fixate (which also locks up the IDE busses). I'm currently recompiling with ATAPI_DEBUG and ACD_DEBUG in the hopes that I'll be able to produce a better bug report.

I have tried today and it turned out that even for a 2-year-old system wormcontrol does not work any more on the SCSI devices. cdrecord seems to work on either cd or worm driver (which is still here in that 2-years-old system). My old system needed a little patching of physio() to get cdrecord running but this bug seems to be fixed long since then in -current. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message

By the way, a stupid question: 4.0-current (at least the latest snapshot) seems to have no worm driver. Is it merged with the cdrom driver now ? Does it still work with the SCSI devices ?

I've just commited a change to the ata driver & wormcontrol, so now you should be able to use the keywords: single double quad max in the speed selection field. Its not very well tested yet though..

Right, but all the drives I've seen falls back from max speed if the medium is crappy, that is not to say that they chose the right speed though :) Anyhow, I have some changes to the worm stuff, it needs to be dealt with to handle modern HW, and to deal with all the possible block formats thats possible on a CD nowadays.
