Hello,
Thanks for your answer!
Could I ask you if you think that the two patches from Joerg Schilling could be included in your ac patches without great difficulties?
In fact under your ac, I've got only one time a problem during burning a CD: that's not so much...
In the man page from cdrecord, there is:
When using cdrecord with the broken Linux SCSI generic driver. You should note that cdrecord uses a hack, that tries to emulate the functionality of the scg driver. Unfortunately, the sg driver on Linux has several severe bugs:
o It cannot see if a SCSI command could not be sent at all.
o It cannot get the SCSI status byte. Cdrecord for that reason cannot report failing SCSI commands in some situations.
o It cannot get real DMA count of transfer. Cdrecord cannot tell you if there is an DMA residual count.
o It cannot get number of bytes valid in auto sense data. Cdrecord cannot tell you if device transfers no sense data at all.
o It fetches to few data in auto request sense (CCS/SCSI-2/SCSI-3 needs >= 18).
Thanks,
