tags 270437 patch thanks Herbert Xu pointed out that the problem is that growisofs opens the device read-only, while read-write mode is necessary for some of the ioctls that it uses. This trivial patch seems to get it working again, though I confess the code is difficult to follow and I'm not sure if it has other side effects. http://growisofs-has-too-many-gotos.no-name-yet.com/patches/dvd+rw-tools.270437.diff -- - mdz
