Yeah, I was wondering if anyone had any information about the underlying problem :) > I'm curious to see whether that (limiting the number of sectors read at a > time) will fix the problems you've been having under -stable with cdda2wav. Hmm, I'll have to wait until we get some more machines before I can test :) Also I think the problem occurs in some circumstances while writing a CD (cdrecord uses shared memory to hold its ring buffer). I'm not sure about this tho since it happens less often. --------------------------------------------------------------------- |Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software | |http://www.gsoft.com.au | |The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to| |choose from. -- Andrew Tanenbaum | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
