Re: Defect management with DVD-RAM on Linux?
Thanks, everybody!
I came to the conclusion that in my case the DVD-RAM writing subsystem is broken on the drive itself. While it still can burn DVD-R discs without errors, something went wrong with the hardware parts related to -RAM support.
1) Other drive did write data flawlessly to the same media under the same OS version.
2) The drive seems to report wrong write speed (it may actually try to _use_ write speed unsupported by the media, hence the errors).
The media used is 3x certified, while the drive thinks it is 6x !
