Description Robert Forsman 2005-09-20 19:42:36 UTC
I am unable to burn a CD-RW using cdrecord on a system running 2.6.13-rc6 .  I
have not tried a CD-R.

I get

cdrecord: Data will not fit on any disk.
cdrecord: Cannot write more than remaining DVD capacity.

cdrecord is not suid.  I am burning as root.
brw-rw----  1 root disk 22, 0 Oct 24  2004 /dev/hdc


I can burn if I reboot into a 2.4 kernel.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
as root:
1. cdrecord dev=0,0,0 speed=1 blank=fast -v -tao  ~thoth/music.iso


Actual Results:

Comment 4 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-21 11:31:56 UTC
can you please try with cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha01 ? 
What's the size of the iso ? Kernel 2.6.x has lots of problems with cdrtools you
should force the use of overburning in case of the iso is bigger than the size
of the CD-RW.
Comment 5 Robert Forsman 2005-09-22 10:26:52 UTC
I can't even emerge cdrtools-2.01.01_alpha01-r2.

During the configure stage of the build process:

..
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
checking for EMX/OS2 environment... no
checking for executable suffix... configure: error: installation or
configuration problem: compiler cannot create executables.

i commited a fix that fix that issue. Please try with that version

try this cdrecord -force -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 blank=fast -eject
check if your device is really dev=0,0,0
please show us your -scanbus info

When I got rid of the "hdc=ide-scsi" argument to my kernel boot (in lilo.conf) I
was able to blank and record a CD-RW using 

cdrecord dev=/dev/hdc speed=4 blank=fast -v -eject -tao music.iso

I stumbled across some message that deprecated ide-scsi not long ago and it gave
me this idea.

I'm not sure of the best place to document this.  The stuff that prints out at
the end of emerge is bloody useless because all but the last package scrolls off
the screen.

Indeed it's deprecated you shouldn't even use it on 2.6 kernels

No it's not useless but if you read our ML's and blogs you should know that we
are going to change that soon(i hope) :).
