Description George Spanos 2007-05-01 16:16:38 UTC
Description of problem:

Using cdrecord (cdrecord-2.01.1-5) on a "SONY DVD RW DRU-830A" (external
USB drive) with DVD-R media burns the disk but hangs for 15 minutes
(until the 1000 second timeout) when it's "fixating" the disk.

Fixating works fine with CD-R media.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cdrecord-2.01.1-5

How reproducible:
cdrecord -v -eject -dao driveropts=burnfree dev=2,0,0 speed=8 DVDImg-01.iso


Actual results:

Please try growisofs from dvd+rw-tools. This will show us, if your drive
supports standard MMC commands.

Comment 2 Phil Knirsch 2008-08-18 14:33:55 UTC
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Engineering for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release.

As this bug has been in NEEDINFO for an extended period of time we are going
to close this bug due to inactivity. If you would like to persue this
matter feel free to reopen this bug and attach the needed information.

With the goal of minimizing risk of change for deployed systems, and in
response to customer and partner requirements, Red Hat takes a conservative
approach when evaluating enhancements for inclusion in maintenance updates
for currently deployed products. The primary objectives of update releases
are to enable new hardware platform support and to resolve critical
defects.

However, Red Hat will further review this request for potential inclusion
in future major releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
