^^^^^ With DVD+RW? Can you really
confirm that your unit burns DVD+RW at 2x? Verify with
dvd+rw-mediainfo...

growisofs burns till it hits the media edge or input is exhausted. As
/dev/zero is never exhausted, growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=/dev/zero is bound
to fail and you have all rights to expect it to. Normally it fails with
"No space left on device." The fact that you see 2/4/8 indicates that
you firmware has glitch. Yet it doesn't really change the fact that
media was actually nullified and you should be able to just proceed. A.
