After a couple false starts, I compiled a kernel with device atapicam turned on hw.ata.atapi_dma=1 in /boot/loader.conf, created an image with mkisofs (yeah I know this is not necessary, but old habits die hard), popped a blank DVD+R in the drive, and finally ran ; time growisofs -dvd-compat -speed\=4 -Z /dev/cd0\=mp3-dvd2.iso Executing 'builtin_dd if=mp3-dvd2.iso of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0' /dev/pass0: "Current Write Speed" is 6.1x1385KBps. 0/4676134912 ( 0.0%) @0x, remaining ??:?? 0/4676134912 ( 0.0%) @0x, remaining ??:?? 0/4676134912 ( 0.0%) @0x, remaining ??:?? 0/4676134912 ( 0.0%) @0x, remaining ??:?? 5439488/4676134912 ( 0.1%) @1.1x, remaining 300:31 22446080/4676134912 ( 0.5%) @3.6x, remaining 82:55 [... this looks very normal to me, but it ends like this ...] 4654235648/4676134912 (99.5%) @4.0x, remaining 0:03 4673339392/4676134912 (99.9%) @4.0x, remaining 0:00 /dev/pass0: flushing cache /dev/pass0: closing track - [unable to TEST UNIT READY]: Input/output error 854r 0.2u 20.2s growisofs -dvd-compat -speed=4 -Z /dev/cd0=mp3-dvd2.iso Ouch. Is anything bad known about this drive? Any problems with it on FreeBSD? Or perhaps I just got a bad drive and need to get it replaced? Always an iffy proposition for hardware that nominally requires windows... Or maybe the disks are bad? (They're Sentinels, on sale in the local bookstore.) Or did I miss something? Here is what I think may be pertinent information: ; sysctl hw.ata hw.ata.ata_dma: 1 hw.ata.wc: 1 hw.ata.atapi_dma: 1 The OS is 5.2.1-RELEASE, and the drive shows up as follows in dmesg: acd0: DVDR <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG> at ata1-master UDMA33 SMP: AP CPU #1 Launched! cd0 at ata1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 cd0: <_NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.16> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-0 device cd0: 33.000MB/s transfers cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present The drive reads both CD-Rs and DVD-Rs just fine. I haven't tried burning any CDs yet. Heck, I got it because I am drowning in CDs... The CPU is a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 in a Shuttle cabinet. - Harald
