Description

Now that I replaced the IDE burner with a SATA burner, the behavior is different (and I would say even worse): - After blanking the drive is still spinning with the access light on. - The disk cannot be ejected, even after a reboot. Power cycling works though. This is with a Pioneer BDR-208BKS if that makes a difference. Please let me know if there are any further tests to do. Created attachment 332726 [details]
Error while Rewriting
Additional error which may be related:
In Brasero one can burn and over-write a rewritable by creating a new project and choosing "Blank" from the popup that appears when the disk is not blank... This causes the disk to be blanked and burned despite showing the following error (See screenshot):
Unable to mount Blank Optical Disc
DBus error
org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found.
...Brasero then proceeds to do the integredity check though as if it was mounted.
I confirm that this problem also exists in the final version of 11.2. Growisofs keeps running after brasero says dvd blanking is complete. Killing growisofs manually using system monitor [or kill] results in the disc being ejected. After inserting the dvd back, I found that the dvd was blank and worked correctly.

I have no idea what brasero or growisofs do when you tell it to "blank" the media. Cdrecord will overwrite the medium or parts of the medium with nulls and it will tell you that it _simulates_ blanking by overwriting. If growisofs hangs for ever, it is broken and it may make sense to use cdrecord instead. Regarding the ability to "detect" the medium: unless you look into toe recorded data, you cannot distinct a properly written medium from a medium that was overwritten by nulls. If the system does not like to use the medium anymore after the overwriting did finish, this may be just another bug in hald. Could you manually call cdrecord -v blank=fast on such a medium and try again? Please note that you need to use the original cdrecord from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ http://cdrecord.berlios.de/ or the SuSe binary packages as wodim does not support DVDs. Tried the cdrecord binary and I got: Error: this media does not support blanking, ignoring. This drive or media does not support the 'BLANK media' command Also note that since I changed drives, trying anything after blanking requires power-cycling the system as the drive locks up and never releases. If I try cdrecord anyways, it says that cannot obtain access to the drive. Out of criosity I tried with CD+R/W and it works perfectly. Only DVD+R/W are giving this trouble in 11.2 (it worked perfectly in 11.1 though). Well, it is obvious that you did _not_ use cdrecord. If you post the whole original output, we can point you to your problem...... Issue hasn't been updated for almost six years, so I assume it's solved or not relevant anymore. Feel free to reopen. Because wodim and all other programs from "cdrkit" are unmaintained by their creators since May 2007, SuSe did finally introduce the original cdrtools again in summer 2013 after SuSe legal did verify that there of course never was a license problem (as claimed by the wodim people). Maybe it is a good idea to now remove cdrkit based packets, mention the facts on a easy to explore place and close cdrkit related bugs? |
