I'm running kernel 2.6.4, from the Debian source packages, and also with Con Kolivas' desktop performance patchset. I'm trying to get Mount Rainier CD-RW writing working. The drive is a generically rebranded LITE-ON COMBO LTC-48161H combo DVD/CD-RW drive, which is supposed to have Mt. Rainier support. The drive works fine for reading CD-ROMs, writing non Mt. Rainier CD-Rs, audio CDs, DVDs, etc. I formatted a CD-RW using cdmrw, then tried mounting it and copying files to it. It pretends to work, but when I do an ls to see the files I supposedly wrote, I get a lot of permission denied errors. If I umount the disk then remount it, the files are missing. I checked /var/log/syslog and got a lot of this: Mar 17 13:41:37 localhost vmunix: hdc: tray open Mar 17 13:41:37 localhost vmunix: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 12032 Mar 17 13:41:37 localhost vmunix: UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/inode.c:1317:udf_update_inode: bread failure Mar 17 13:42:03 localhost kernel: hdc: tray open Mar 17 13:42:03 localhost kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 6016 Mar 17 13:42:03 localhost kernel: UDF-fs DEBUG fs/udf/inode.c:1317:udf_update_inode: bread failure as well as ar 17 13:45:48 localhost vmunix: VFS: busy inodes on changed media.
