I have already used cdrecord a long time with a TEAC CD-R55S and a PLEXTOR CD-R PX-R412C 1.07. The main operation is to burn ISO images from FreeBSD CD-ROM images and other self made images. This worked very well until a couple of weeks in the past! It seems that FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE (recent cvsupdate) and the recent port of cdrtools have problems on both CD-R!! I took a fresh ISO image from the FreeBSD ftp site. I checked this image by hooking it into the device tree by vnconfig. I checked all other ISO images which are to be burned this way to ensure that they have the right layout. They were all right! Then I invoke cdrecord -v speed=4 dev=2,6,0 image.iso and watched the progress of this job. After a successful completion I tried to read the new CD - and it does not work! I burned on both CD-Rs, and I tested on six!!!! different machines with different operation systems (Win2k, WinXP, FreeBSD, Linux) and tried to mount the CDs, without success! The process I use, look at the command I gave above, is the same I used in the past and all other FreeBSD images are all right I burned shortly after September, 22th, when FBSD 4.4-RELEASE has been released. It is very unlikely that two indedepndent CD-Rs in two diefferent machines at two different places suffer from the same hardware damage! I think there is a evil problem with the software, either cdrrecord or the CAM devices in FreeBSD ... Does anyone can help, report the same examinations or know something more detailed about this problem? thanks, Oliver -- MfG O.
