I've recent purchased a Yamaha 4x4x16 CDR-RW and it's giving me a lot of trouble when burning CDRW media. Basically blanking a disc doesn't work and totally FUBARs the device, it sits there for a LONG time then gives some sort of SCSI timeout error. I need a hard reboot to get it to come back... resetting and rescanning the bus with camcontrol doesn't help, in fact it wedged so badly that when i told the machine to 'reboot' it seemed not to be able to sync the disks. (/ was not dismounted properly in dmesg) i'm going to try to burn with 'speed=0' and see if that works as soon as i can get someone at home to hard-reboot the damn thing. i'll also post failure/success. any suggestions in the meantime? i've been using cdrecord and regular CDR works fine. this breaks things: cdrecord -v dev=0,3,0 speed=4 blank=all fs=8m -swab spare.iso i may just return the device, if it comes to that can someone recommend a 4x4x16 or faster machine that can actually burn at that speed under freebsd+cdrecord? (i don't see the point of paying big bucks if i'm limited by brainded hardware or a broken cdrecord...) thanks a bunch, Alfred Perlstein - Programmer, HotJobs Inc. - www.hotjobs.com -- There are operating systems, and then there's FreeBSD. -- http://www.freebsd.org/ 3.0-current To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
