In various comments the author of cdrecord blames some kernel read-ahead bug for his cdrecord program damaging the last few files on any ISO that you burn. I just want to know if anyone else has either seen this problem or fixed it?
Every image I burn is useless, not to mention that if I tell cdrecord to do a fast blank instead of a full one then it destroys the cdrw disc. I have to say, I've tried xcdroast, gcombust, and a few others and my lowly NTI-CDMaker for Windows is the only one that actually always works (I know, all the linux programs I've tried are just cdrecord front-ends). I have debian potato with a recompiled kernel for SCSI-emulation with my ATAPI cdrw.
