From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.61C-SGI [en] (X11; I; IRIX 6.5 IP22) CDRECORD writes a CD correctly and fixates it but then hangs and the process cannot be killed. System has to be re-booted to regain access to cd writer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. cdrecord fisher-i386-powertools.iso 2. 3. Actual Results: cdrecord gets to : fixating .... and then stops, the CD writer shows some activity then the light goes out and CDRECORD never exits Expected Results: CDRECORD should exit and give a new shell command prompt System specification: Yamaha CRW8824S Rev: 1.00, Adaptec AHA-7850 (rev 3), AMD Athlon 1.2GHz
I cant reproduce this.
Further investigation shows the problem to be a conflict between cdrecord & magicdev. With magicdev disabled cdrecord works perfectly. I suspect magicdev is trying to mount the disk before cdrecord has quite finished with it.
I have got the same result (hangs the system, need to reboot it), when I am trying to blank a rewritable-CD reproductible all the time: cdrecord blank=all -v dev=0,5,0 but I am able to write simple CD ? there was no such behavior before the update from 7.0 to 7.1 !
