I use an LG 8080B/1.06 CD-RW drive. I have been able to install FreeBSD on the drive as normal, using the drive. I have also been able to burn ISOs of parts of my file system as backup, provided the CD-RW disks are blank. However, a peculiar thing happens when I try to blank or erase a CD-RW disk. The server just hangs.When I abort the process using Ctrl+C I am unable to restart the erase procedure again unless i reboot. I usually get an error report indicating IOCD.. is busy. I can't remember the error report exactly. I have tried running the burncd program with verbose settings burncd -vf /dev/acd0 erase but that has not yeilded any information. It hangs as usual. I am not sure whether this is a problem that has been identified and whether it has been fixed in succsessive version of FreeBSD. I use FreeBSD 5.3 p-18 by the way. I would appreciate any inputer I can get on this and would be willing to provide any extra information needed.
