DVD burning issues

DeusExLinux · 2005-07-02 21:15:54

I have a HP dvdwriter 630e, which works great under my mepis live cd, burns data files perfectly.

When I boot into arch, I can burn dvd-rw's just fine, but when I burn a dvd-r (the drive burns both + and - discs), everytime I attempt to mount my newly burned data disk I get this error:

mount: block device /dev/dvdrw is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/dvdrw,
       missing codepage or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

so dmesg | tail reveals this:

Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 3154342
Attached scsi generic sg0 at scsi0, channel 0, id 0, lun 0,  type 5
ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 3
ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A
attempt to access beyond end of device
sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16
attempt to access beyond end of device
sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16

the bloody thing burns dvd-rw's great, mounts with no problem, it's just when I try to do a regular dvd-r that it gives me these problems.

I have dvd+rw-tools installed, perhaps there is a package I am missing, or a setup I forgot to do.

It is a scsi device, and I use a vanilla 2.6.9 kernel.

do you have dvdrtools installed?

maybe try changing fstype to auto in fstab.

which program are you using? k3b works good.

it is either a config that is screwing you or your command for burning. Provide more detail such as your burn instructions, and relevant config files and you may get a more thorough answer.

I'm using k3b, in both instances, and just using the standard config for it.

When I tried to install dvdrtools it said it was in conflict with cdrtools, so I searched the forum and found a link that said if I have dvd+rw-tools installed, I don't need dvdr-tools, is this incorrect? Should I use dvdrtools, and not cdr tools?

Which config files should I give ya?

I'm fairly proficent at troubleshooting most things, but I've never had an issue with an optical drive, so I don't really know what config files affect the drives!

Thanks for the speedy responses though, just ask for whateaver config files, and I'll post em.

UPDATE:::: I tried to change the filesystem format to auto, and it gives me "mount: I could not determine the filesystem type, and none was specified. is K3b not burning a file type?

DVDs dont use iso9660, afaik, they use udf.

DeusExLinux · 2005-07-03 07:19:43

sorry, I have them both listed in my fstab, as dvd drives also read cd's, I thought it was relevant to have them both there

my fstab

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0

/dev/hdc    /mnt/cdrom   udf,iso9660   user,defaults,noauto      0   0
/dev/dvdrw  /mnt/dvdburner  udf,iso9660         user,defaults,noauto            0 0

/dev/discs/disc0/part2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part4 / reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/discs/disc0/part3 /home reiserfs defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 vfat user,defaults,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 reiserfs user,defaults 0 0

the first optical disk is the internal drive on my laptop (/dev/hdc), it's a dvd-cdrw combo.

Change the "udf,iso9660" argument to "auto" - or, if you are running dbus and hal, remove both CD-ROM entries completely from fstab... they will be created automatically next time you insert a medium by fstab-sync (likely mounted under /media/dvdwriter, unless you've done some heavy udev rules tweaking).
Also get sure that your current user belongs to the "optical" group.
If using K3B you may have to run "kdesu kcmshell k3bestup2" after that mod.
