Hi, > I should wait until the burning process has finished ;-)
It did not help, though. :( > :-[ WRITE@LBA=17900h failed with SK=0h/ASC=00h/ACQ=03h]: Input/output error Now this is a strange SCSI error code. SK=0h/ASC=00h means that nothing can be reported. But ACQ=03h means that there is something special with that nothing. 0,0,3 does not appear in the list of official SCSI errors. > What do you think, is this a drive issue like you mentioned before or > something else? The suspected reason for long waiting plus something else, i guess. The complained write address 17900h is in decimal notation 96512. That's 13 blocks less than the reserved size of 96525. A DVD write command of growisofs sends up to 16 blocks. So this was the last WRITE command of the burn run. The drive thus noticed that all payload has been transmitted and began to fill up the DVD to the 70 millimeter limit. In the course of this operation, something bad happened to medium, drive, bus, or kernel. growisofs pervceived a error indication and got above error code from the kernel. The error code may well be fabricated by kernel or bus controller in order to indicate some error that did not happen in the drive. Check your system log for messages related to "sr0". Timeouts should rather be reported with "SK=Bh". Nevertheless it might be that some participant in the communications chain lost patience and aborted the WRITE command. If so, then the drive might even have finished the burn. After that last WRITE command, there would be nothing more to do. To get more insight you could do: - Write a larger ISO image so that the last WRITE command lasts less long. About 800 MB would be a good size. E.g. just a stream of zeros: dd if=/dev/zero bs=2048 count=400000 | growisofs ... - Write the small image to DVD-R or unformatted DVD-RW without -use-the-force=dummy , wait until the error is reported, watch the drive LED to stop giving signs of work, eject the medium, load it again and check whether the content is readable. E.g. by dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=96525 | \ diff - medien/filme/DVD-ABBILDER/show-musikprojekt.iso > I found a dvd+r double layer disc in my working desk and tried this > one. Besides dummy write has not worked and I've wasted a double layer > disc for about 200 MByte of data, everything went fine. DVD+R and DVD+R DL are not capable of dummy writing. It's not very provident of growisofs to start the burn run in this case. Especially if closing the medium is requested by -dvd-compat or -use-the-force-luke=dao. > The not working disc is a dvd-r type. I presumed this from your description of the differences at burn start between dao and not dao. It's typical for DVD-R and unformatted DVD-RW.
