Hi other K3b fans:

The mail list archive does not seem to suggest a solution to my problem
so I thought post a question.

Symptoms: In 20% of attempts DVD verification fails with message 'No
track found to verify'. I have no reason to suppose the writing actually
failed as on doing random checks of the discs produced all seems OK.

I am using Linux 2.6.20-gentoo-r8 - x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor
3000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
