Looks like the drive is like my Samsung.
It pretends that the media can do Incremental
Streaming but then fails.

Yes it is. As often as you want.

If you view file growisofs.c and search for
"-use-the-force-luke" (in quotes) then you see
a list of possible =values from "tty" to "spare".

It is then interesting and instructive to try
finding out what they actually do. :))

Strange: "notry,tty" is not among them.
I cannot spot any comma interpretation.


Have a nice day :)
