cdrecord freezes when burning data
Hi,
I moved a Sony cdburner from my home machine to my office machine (testing), but
am now unable to burn data cds. I am able to burn music cds (.wav files) using
the command:
cdrecord -v speed=16 dev=0,1,0 -dao -useinfo *.wav
To burn a data file I (as root) first type:
mkisofs -r -o output.file input.directory/
and then type:
cdrecord blank=fast -v dev=0,1,0 speed=2 filename
(I began using cd-rw because I was ruining cd-r disks--the same thing happens with
cd-r disks). The machine prints out several lines of info (appended below), but
then it simply freezes up about the time it begins to write. Sometimes it will
write a small amount before freezing up. After nothing happens for a long while,
the mouse is frozen, and the only way I know to get control back is to unplug the
machine and reboot (I really really hate doing that). If I type ctrl-c while the
machine is doing nothing, but before it freezes up, I get the prompt back at the
terminal. But soon the cdburner starts whirring and making a lot of noise in the
background, and then the machine freezes up again (and I then unplug it and start
over--I'm afraid the burner will destroy itself if I let it spin forever). This
is repeatable many times, with different initial directories. I then tried
backing up a file that was very small, 344 kb, and things worked fine: no freezing
up. But it still freezes on larger files.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Ric
Here is the messages I get up until the machine freezes:

Sometimes it will get past this point and I will get a line that says something

is what I get when I burn a very small file successfully:)
