Really? I always use 2k with CDs because I lose data at the end of the CD with anything bigger. Some problem with detecting the end of the CD it seems. I just did a spot test. Results: my SCSI CD and SCSI burner worked fine. My ATAPI Pioneer DVD dropped the last block. This is with 4.2-stable, and 4.3-beta respectively :-) The SCSI system was built last November, the IDE one just 11 days ago. The tests: (I used CD1 from 4.2-R, if anyone cares) (SCSI burner CW-7502) $ dd if=/dev/rcd0c bs=4k of=/dev/null 163113+1 records in 163113+1 records out 668112896 bytes transferred in 542.834929 secs (1230785 bytes/sec) (ATAPI DVD Pioneer 103S) $ dd if=/dev/racd0c bs=4k of=/dev/null 163113+0 records in 163113+0 records out 668110848 bytes transferred in 427.117307 secs (1564233 bytes/sec) Stephen.
