DVD-RW erase fails
Last modified: 2015-01-14 18:20:12 EST
On a dual boot laptop with Fedora 8 Test 3 / Rawhide and Windows XP, CD/DVD erase/burning works flawlessly under Windows. However, under Fedora DVD-RW erase operation fails with nautilus-cd-burner when trying to burn an iso image to a DVD-RW where there is some data already. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Right click on an ISO image 2. Select Write to Disc 3. Select correct disc and write speed 4. Select Erase Disc 5. See how an error is displayed: " Error writing to disc There was an error writing to the disc: Unhandled error, aborting " As said, under WinXP erasa works all ok for the same disc. There are no error messages in syslog related to this error so I don't know how could I provide more information?
FWIW, CD-RW and DVD+RW discs work just fine, only DVD-RW disks are problematic.
Any news about this one? I'd be happy to provide any additional information if needed to solve this issue. Thanks.
More info: If I manually erase the disk with: root@localhost:~# cdrecord --devices wodim: Overview of accessible drives (1 found) : ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0 dev='/dev/scd0' rwrw-- : 'MATSHITA' 'UJ-845D' ------------------------------------------------------------------------- root@localhost:~# wodim -v -force /dev/scd0 -blank=fast ... Then I can write to the disk. Not sure if it is related but I have /dev/dvd -> /dev/sr0 (not /dev/scd0 as reported by cdrecord.)
This seems to be working now with F9! I'll close this one.
