dvd+rw-tools 7.1, Blu-Ray, and INVALID FIELD IN CDB on session close

["Ryan C. Underwood" <nemesis@icequake.net>]

Hello,

Please see the issue I posted here with my new Pioneer BDR-205 fw 1.03:
http://club.myce.com/f143/cant-close-session-bdr-205-external-macally-cm-s525u-308505/

I then found the following posts on this ML explaining quite similar
problems:

I followed the advice in the last post to try cdrskin instead, and this
is what happened (0.7.6.pl00-2):

  $ mkisofs -rJ . | cdrskin -v dev=/dev/sr1 blank=format_if_needed [tried with speed=4 also] -

  cdrskin 0.7.6 : limited cdrecord compatibility wrapper for libburn
  cdrskin: verbosity level : 1
  cdrskin: NOTE : greying out all drives besides given dev='/dev/sr1'
  cdrskin: scanning for devices ...

  [...]
  cdrskin: status 1 burn_disc_blank "The drive holds a blank disc"

  Cdrskin: fifo was 0 times empty and 1160 times full, min fill was 97%.
  Min drive buffer fill was 0%
  cdrskin: burning failed
  cdrskin: FATAL : burning failed.

No errors in dmesg (aside from those related to inserting the blank
disc).

Then I tried the same command again:

  [...]
  cdrskin: ... scanning for devices done
  cdrskin: status 3 BURN_DISC_APPENDABLE "There is an incomplete disc in the drive"
  Current: BD-R sequential recording
  cdrskin: beginning to burn disc

  cdrskin: thank you for being patient for 3 seconds                     cdrskin: FATAL : SCSI error on write(0,16): [5 21 02] Invalid address

  Track 01: Total bytes read/written: 32768/0 (0 sectors).
  Writing  time:  3.825s
  Cdrskin: fifo had 2095 puts and 47 gets.
  Cdrskin: fifo was 0 times empty and 0 times full, min fill was 100%.
  Min drive buffer fill was 50%
  cdrskin: burning failed
  cdrskin: FATAL : burning failed.

So I'm baffled how to simply write an ISO filesystem to a Blu-Ray disc
without errors...
