Description Johan Walles 1999-10-19 07:09:29 UTC
To burn a CDROM I have to turn off auto-mounting of CDROMs
in the gnome control panel.  Otherwise, gmc (or whatever)
tries to mount the CD before the fixation phase is complete,
which in turn messes up the newly created CD.

I have this problem with a vanilla RH61 with no patches
applied, an ncr53c8xx SCSI card and a Philips CDD 2600 CDROM
writer.

Also, I don't really know whether this is a problem with
GNOME, cdrecord or something else, but I hope you do :-).

It's a problem with magicdev. You can remove it from
your gnome session if you like.

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2000-02-03 21:15:59 UTC
This is a kernel bug or misfeature. The kernel should not be
reporting the status of the device as CDS_DATA_* in response
to the CDROM_DRIVE_STATUS ioctl until the burn is finished.

I do not know enough about the process of writing a CD to
say what this would require in detail. It may require cooperation
with the writer software to fix this completely.

(magicdev is off by default now in the gnome-core we ship, but
this problem should be resolved at the source, and is not
particularly specific to magicdev. It could be closed if it
does not concern the kernel folks.)

Comment 3 Johan Walles 2000-02-04 07:11:59 UTC
This happened with cdrecord release 1.8a35 if that helps.  But since my cd
writer is currently broken, I'm afraid I can't do any more testing :-(.

  Cheers //Johan

Magicdev needs rewriting by someone who actually read the ATAPI specifications
