Hi, I got strange problems (probably) with dvd+rw-tools-6.1-r1:
There are three files (recordings from my DVBT-receiver): -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1205874688 Jul 2 10:14 2006-04-02_20-15_Ice_Age.mpg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1492150272 Jun 30 20:29 2006-06-27_22-15_Twister.mpg -r--r--r-- 1 root root 1754710016 Jun 30 18:20 2006-06-28_20-15_Final_Fantasy.mpg which I burned with k3b onto a DVD+RW media. The process itsself does not produce any problems. Even the verify-function reports "Success". Then I ejected the medium, reinserted again, mounted the DVD and cat * > /dev/null all files. Result: cat: 2006-06-28_20-15_Final_Fantasy.mpg: Input/output error The kernel log files contains this: Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] attempt to access beyond end of device Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] hdd: rw=0, want=8388608, limit=8388604 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 2097151 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] attempt to access beyond end of device Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] hdd: rw=0, want=8388612, limit=8388604 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 2097152 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] attempt to access beyond end of device Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] hdd: rw=0, want=8388616, limit=8388604 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 2097153 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] attempt to access beyond end of device Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] hdd: rw=0, want=8388608, limit=8388604 Jul 2 14:38:49 [kernel] Buffer I/O error on device hdd, logical block 2097151 K3b was instructed not to produce a multisession DVD and not to use UDF-structures. Strange enough, I can repeat this with another medium and get back the same block reported in the log files. Now... Then I used dd to read the whole DVD in one go. The read process as such completes without any error. So I think medai and burner are not guilty for this. However when cat'ing the files from the image, which I mounted via loop-device, I got the same error as those described above. The I used readcd to perform the same thing, mounted the image via loop-device ans VOILA! the files could be read with correct sized files from the image without any error. I could repeat the experiment by using growisofs from the comandline with comparable results (the files were written in a different order, though). An image generated with k3b (which then does not use growisofs) is ok. Here I stand, head in hand, turn my face to the wall.... I have simply no clue, who or what is playing bad jokes at me... My system: Gentoo Linux (32bit) with vanilla kernel 2.6.17.3 (newest stable) dvd+rw-tools 6.1 mkisofs 2.0 (as reported by growisofs) k3b 0.12.6 Hardware: AMD64 X2 3800+ 1GB RAM Asus AV8 motherboard LG 4163B (firmware A106, newest release) DVD/CD-Burner Any help to resolve the problem described above is very appreciated. Thank you ! Kind regards, mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
