Description Sascha Silbe 2003-11-24 00:18:06 UTC
Every time I burn a CD with app-cdr/cdrtools-2.01_alpha14, cdrecord says:

Fixating...
cdrecord: Cannot fixate disk.

With app-cdr/cdrtools-1.11.40 it works fine.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cdrecord -v -eject -multi /cdtemp/downloads.iso

Comment 2 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-12-04 19:57:52 UTC
May you test one of the newer versions of the cdrtools (alpha16, 18, 19 or 20) and report, if the problem is still valid?

On the other hand you can test, if cdrecord would work with a SCSI-emulation in opposition to ATAPI.  This is unstable and testing stuff, and may not work with every recorder (especially the old ones).  A SCSI-emulation is still the recommended way for cdrecord.
Comment 3 Sascha Silbe 2004-01-10 07:39:04 UTC
When forcing cdrecord to use ide-scsi instead of ATAPI, I can at least blank a CD-RW again now. Will try newer cdrecord versions the next time I encounter a problem. 
Comment 4 Lars Weiler (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-01-17 14:43:59 UTC
I masked cdrecord-2.01-alpha23 stable now.  You should test this one.  Please report your results.

No info given.  Just closing.
