Archived from groups: linux>gentoo>user (more info?)

Hello.

Burning dvds with Cdrecord-ProDVD-ProBD-Clone 2.01.01a67 on my Dell
Vostro 1510 notebook is always failing.

The device is identified as TEAC DVD+-RW DVW28SLC and can write at 8x
speed.

The process starts and reports writing at 14.5x, but the media is not
burnt. cdrecord reaches but does not finish the fixation stage. It
reports an average write speed of 14.3x. When I manage to stop the
process (by rebooting the computer), I see the media has not been burnt
and it is not ruined. It can be reused.

With cdrkit, cdrecord finishes (after using different speeds, as 2x, 1x,
4x, 6x e 20x), but when reading the disc an input/output error is
reported.

With Nero Linux I can burn dvd discs without problems, though.

When I bought this notebook in january and first installed gentoo,
cdrecord used to work. Then at some point ago (probably after some
update) it has stopped working with the behaviour I have described
above. But by then I did not have the time to investigate, and keep
using only Nero, which continues to work well. Today I decided to
investigate a little more the problem, but could not reach to any
conclusions.

Any clues?

wodim is known for not being able to support DVDs.

If you like to get help with cdrecord, I recommend you to first send information
and log files about your problem.

I need the following:

The version number of cdrecord that caused the bug.
The command line that was used for the failing command.
The complete output (including error messages) from 'cdrecord -v ...' (use
"script" to fetch the output)
Probably the important part of the 'cdrecord -V' output if we agreed on it
The OS name, release and hardware (processor)
Special conditions of your environment (libc vers. SCSI transport ...)
Sufficient information on the media used. This is at least the ATIP data, a
note to CD-R/CD-RW and information on the state and the case history of this
media.

If cdrecord reports a higher speed than possible, I would guess that the Linux
kernel does not set up DMA correctly.

Call cdrecord -atip

For the medium state, I would need the output from cdrecord -minfo
before and after you tries to burn.

Did you ever write a DVD-R with this hardware?

With the messages you send, it cannot be cdrecord but either your drive
or the Linux kernel.

One interesting point is that cdrecord is unable to do a DMA speed test.
THis may have different reasons and without knowing the reason, I cannot
say more...

You may try to call cdrecord -v -checkdrive -V

and have a look at the SCSI read buffer command.

You also may try to reduce the transfer size to 16 kb by adding "ts=16k"
to the command line in hope that it is a driver bug that goes away with smaller
transfer sizes.

OK, the drive does not support the read buffer command, this is why cdrecord
cannot do a DMA speed test.

But you have a massive problem in the linux kernel that needs to be
investigated. The test unit ready command _cannot_ return a "fatal"
SCSI transport error as long as there is a drive connected.

Please start with running the "scgcheck" command to get some informations
on the compliance problems in your linux kernel.

I cannot see any problem like the problem above.

BTW: this may be caused by the fact that you did not simply add debug=2
but at the same time removed -V.

I'll look at this later. Could you meanwhile do a test without -V please?

There was a report for broken Pioneer formware that hits in -v mode and
causes the firmware from the drive to through away the data before writing
it to the medium.

Sorry - I mean wihtout -v

With -v, crecord calls "read buffer cap" and this may cause a firmware bug in
your drive.

Do you mean a test without -V or -v ?

Without -v, as in this case cdrecord does not read the drives buffer fill ratio.
It seems that there is a bug in Pioneer firmware that is triggered by calling
SCSI get buffer cap (0x5C)and that results in throwing away the DMA data.

Then it seems that the drive developer is Pioneer. TEAC is out of normal
business sind 4 years but it may be that they are the OEM for drives developed
by Pioneer.

Fixable would be updating the firmware in the drive.

As it seems that Pioneer drives are sold by many companies, it may be that I
need to find a suitable workaround for the bug.
