I can by no means find a potential origin of
that message in dvd+rw-tools. Nor would my
local Linux kernel print me these messages

Did you already tell what operating system and
version you use ? (I assume "sr0" is Linux)

It offers these three 32h formattings with about
0.8 GB and 0.25 GB of spare. The middle one seems
to be 12.5 GB for spare area and for data.

Obviously it believes to be ready for formatting
but the FORMAT command fails.


Have a nice day :)
