Description Josh Parsons 2004-09-09 18:17:53 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2)

Description of problem:
When I use cdrecord to record a CD in DAO mode on my SMP system, the
system's memory usage gradually climbs.  The memory is still in use
when cdrecord finishes (or when it's killed) and eventually (if I burn
two or more CDs) the system becomes unusable.

The CD recorder is the second ide device on the second ide port
(/dev/hdd).  The problem does not occur if I burn the CD through ide-scsi.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-2.6.8-1.521smp

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo cdrecord -v -dao -useinfo -text *.wav

According to this thread (and my own experience)
http://kerneltrap.org/node/view/3659 even once this bug is fixed, the
resulting audio cd is corrupt.
