CDR works fine.

Comment 1 Antonio Piccolboni 2005-01-22 19:52:06 UTC
Component indicated in bug report is incorrect. True component 
(cdrecord) not listed in bugzilla. Bugzilla refuses entry of correct 
component in text field. Please reclassify as appropriate.

Comment 2 Stephen Tweedie 2005-01-24 13:55:08 UTC
Some source packages create multiple binary packages.  Bugzilla needs the
original source package name as the component.  rpm can show you the necessary
bits and pieces:

 $ rpm -qif /usr/bin/cdrecord
 Name        : cdrecord                     Relocations: (not relocateable)
 Version     : 2.0                          Vendor: Red Hat, Inc.
 Release     : 11.9.1                       Build Date: Mon 04 Aug 2003...
 Install Date: Mon 25 Aug 2003 10:21:22 BST Build Host:  daffy.perf.redhat.com
 Group       : Applications/Archiving   Source RPM:  cdrtools-2.0-11.9.1.src.rpm

so the component you want is "cdrtools".  Reassigning for you.

*** Bug 146573 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 4 Harald Hoyer 2005-01-31 10:19:03 UTC
could you try older kernels, like the one, we shipped with FC3?

Comment 5 Antonio Piccolboni 2005-01-31 19:31:43 UTC
Do you mean 2.6.9-1.667? I don't really keep track of what kernel 
shipped with what, I just try to be up to date. Give me a version and 
I'll do my best.

Comment 6 morgan read 2005-01-31 23:49:02 UTC
Sure this is a dup of Bug 146573?  Bug 146573 seems v old, not
peculiar to post fc1 kernels, but peculiar to QSI drives; see email re
same (?) problem in suse list 2002
<http://lists.suse.com/archive/suse-linux/2002-Nov/0470.html> (in german).

Morgan.

Unable to blank CD-RW also on FC4 x86_64. Options: -blank=all -force. The error

Comment 8 Vlado Potisk 2006-01-15 23:05:27 UTC
Regarding my comment #7:  My problem might be hardware based and unrelated to
this bug. I got a chance to try a different drive (ID below) and was able to
successfully blank the same CD-RW medium with it.

Revision       : '1.09'

Comment 9 David Eisenstein 2006-05-30 13:53:30 UTC
Regarding comment #7:  If this is still seen as a problem in FC4, then
I am going to reassign it to FC4, as FC3 is now in maintenance mode.

Comment 10 Christian Iseli 2007-01-22 10:21:15 UTC
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd.

Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and
either update the target product or close it ?

Thanks.

Comment 11 morgan read 2007-01-22 20:56:02 UTC
Whether this should be closed or not may be depends on whether it realy is a
dupe of Bug 146573.  If it is a dupe of bug Bug 146573, then it should remain
open (and updated to fc5) if it's not - I don't know...  HTH.

Comment 12 petrosyan 2008-02-15 01:36:41 UTC
Fedora Core 4 is not maintained anymore.

Setting status to "INSUFFICIENT_DATA". If you can reproduce this bug in the
current Fedora release, please reopen this bug and assign it to the
corresponding Fedora version.
