Problem: Writing to Pana DVD-RAM

[cacook@freedom.net]

Originally sent this in HTML, so maybe it didn't get through:


To recap: running Panasonic LF-D101 DVDRAM drive on SCSI (AHA2740) and
getting segfaults.  On-disk format is UDF2.0, as 2.1 won't mount.

Mount, ls, umount, mount, ls, umount, etc - no problem.

Mount, cp <20Mfile>, umount, mount, ls, (20Mfile), umount, mount, ls, (20Mfile),
rpm -q 20Mfile, umount, etc - no problem.

Mount, rm <20Mfile>, Segmentation Fault, umount, (device busy), umount, (device busy), etc.  Reboot without reset and bootup hangs at Running Linuxconf hooks.  Boot to Windows & try to access DVDRAM & it says "Not formatted, would you like to format?"  Power-cycle =only= the DVDRAM & then it works fine.  The Linux CD driver is messing up the controller in the drive.

Reset system & boots fine to Linux.  Mount, ls, (no files), umount, mount, ls, (no files), umount, etc.  Reboot to Win2k & access the DVDRAM, but ondisk format is destroyed.  Win2k asks if I want to reformat.

(Help - Jens has been too busy)
