Re: What does this error stand for ?

Hi,

while making a google poll about the spectrum
of sense bytes reported by cdrecord, i found
some occurences of "Sense Bytes: 72".

This german bug report describes a similar
incident with CD-R:
  http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-795543-view-previous.html?sid=363061ca5d441369d0e3d4e34d1cc55f
The submitter reports to have repaired it by
connecting the drive to a different SATA port
on the mainboard.

This one got solved by moving and re-plugging
hard disks and optical drives:

Similar ones with no final remedy:

There are lots of misleading rumors:

This one comes to the conclusion that cdrecord
succeeds where wodim fails:

  see first follow-up comment
So far for success-failure statistics.

It is reported that switching from disk image
file to writing on-the-fly helped

Quite implausible unless the image file emerges
on a different disk than the input data get read
from.

Other remedies are: add user to group "optical",
setup k3B properly, convert sound files to .wav
... maybe we should add lunar phases or
subterrestrial water radiations to the list.

------------------------------------------------

Elsewise google finds me only format codes 0x70
and 0xF0 with cdrecord. Both differ only by the
VALID bit, which indicates the standard
conformance of bytes 3 to 6.


Have a nice day :)
