I tried hdparm -w, which logged logged that it reset the device, but that didn't make any difference. I then tried another CD-RW and that worked, so maybe I just have a CD-RW that has gone bad.

No disk / Wrong disk message when burning CD-RW
I've got a FC3 system where burning to CD-RW works fine until the system has been up for a long time, at which point it gives the No disk / Wrong disk message. I googled and found this: --- Doing some Googling, for the No disk / Wrong disk message, I noticed one person who said their drive burns just fine, unless the machine's been on for a while. Then it complains. If they reboot, it becomes happy again. (I didn't notice if they mentioned what particular brand of drive it was.) --- which sounds exactly like my problem, but I did not find anything else helpful. Has anyone seen or heard of this problem? Is it likely to be a s/w or h/w problem? Is there a way I can reset the device driver or the device itself w/o rebooting the system?

Yes. :) Is there a way I can reset the device driver or the device itself w/o rebooting the system? If it's an ATAPI cdrom, you might try hdparm -w /dev/cdrom. N.B.: the -w option to hdparm is considered DANGEROUS. If you have your CD-ROM driver compiled as a module, you could always rmmod/insmod again. You might also want to look into any power management that might be enabled for the drive... prehaps you're trying to burn a disk while it's asleep. :) Beyond that, it's hard to say w/o knowing what kernel/wodim version and model drive you are using. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
