Problems using cdrecord to scsi cdwriter from scsi hard drive
Guy Maskall
I've now downloaded and compiled the latest version of cdrecord. This is
what happens now:
---start of output---
Track 06: 36 of 36 MB written (fifo 100%).
Track 06: Total bytes read/written: 38285856/38285856 (16278 sectors).
Starting new track at sector: 124000

/opt/schily/bin/cdrecord: fifo had 5102 puts and 5100 gets.

---end of output---
This is exactly what happened with the old version at speed=2. What on
earth could be suddenly causing it all to go pear shaped? After this fault
the scsi hard drive goes offline (it still appears mounted but cannot be
accessed - using ls for example - but you get this response from scsi_info:
---start---
/sbin/scsi_info /dev/sda4
open() failed: Device not configured
---end---
If you go through the motions of unmounting the scsi drive it will still be
registered as having being unmounted uncleanly and needs a good fsck.
Anyone??

and h/w errors. The first error (with the older version of cdrecord) was
solved by using the latest cdrecord. This was when the error during track 7
came to light. I tracked it down to bad blocks on the hard disk! These have
now been remapped using the host adaptors low level utility and thoroughly
checked. A working audio cd has now been created.
Posting this solution in case it helps anyone else.
