It looks like a normal buffer underun or a scsi - bus
error.
Is the SCSI-Termination OK ?
Is the scsi -bus -lenght to long ?
Do you use a Tekram 315 -Controller with external
devices ?

well,
what seems to be happening was lots of swapping. i have my swap partition on the same disk as my cdimage. so, having only 65Mb of ram in tha machine, if i'm running netscape or something, i guess memory gets tight, and starts to swap. this causes the data stream to get lost long enough that the write fails.
i added another 64Mb to the machine (to reduce swapping), and 8x writes work like a charm.
i'm still not sure why the cdrecord worked at 8x w/ only 64Mb. just lucky, i guess.

Hello.
I'm trying to write at 8x on a plextor W-8220 drive, and am getting errors such as:
cdrdao: Input/output error. : scsi sendcmd: retryable error
CDB: 2A 00 00 00 2E 8B 00 00 0D 00
status: 0x2 (CHECK CONDITION)
Sense Bytes: F0 00 03 00 00 2F 23 0A 00 00 00 00 0C 09 00 00
Sense Key: 0x3 Medium Error, Segment 0
Sense Code: 0x0C Qual 0x09 (write error - loss of streaming) Fru 0x0
Sense flags: Blk 12067 (valid)
ERROR: Write data failed.
ERROR: Writing failed - buffer under run?
ERROR: Simulation failed.
i looked through the bug reports, and it seems that 122516 is my problem. it was posted way back in november. does anyone know about its status?
thanks.
nall.
