Hi,

I get the following errors when issuing a
$ dd if=/dev/rcd0c of=cd2 bs=64k
dd: /dev/rcd0c: Input/output error
2081+0 records in
2081+0 records out
136380416 bytes transferred in 68.991715 secs (1976765 bytes/sec)

And in the logs I find:
(cd0:sym0:0:0:0): READ(10). CDB: 28 0 0 4 c0 20 0 0 6 0 
(cd0:sym0:0:0:0): MEDIUM ERROR info:4c024 asc:6,0
(cd0:sym0:0:0:0): No reference position found
(cd0:sym0:0:0:0): cddone: got error 0x5 back


The disk is a data disk. On a cursory inspection the image produced
with dd seems ok, despite the errors. I get the error on a couple of
disks I've burnt on some HP burner and my own Plextor. One commercial
(data) CD doesn't give any errors. Should I be concerned?

I'm running on 4.3-stable, the CD-writer is a Plextor hanging off of a
Tekram 390u2w controller. Further details upon request.
