Hi,
well I am using k3b0.10.1 and either choosing cdrdao or cdrecord in
DAO mode to burn the cd ends up in non-bit identical copies, wheres ion TAO (atleast with my 10x CD-RW I tested) the copy succeded. I tried several times, and always got this issue.
bash-2.05b$ md5sum livecd-2.6_10-23-2003.iso

bash-2.05b$ md5sum /dev/cdroms/cdrom1
f73f3a74239dfe94b322b85fd14a306e /dev/cdroms/cdrom1
DAO:
bash-2.05b$ md5sum /dev/cdroms/cdrom1

Could you please try and cmp the two images, finding out how big the
corrupted chunks are and what kind of data they contain?
After some further investigation I found out, that the data is NOT corrupted, but in a way truncated in DAO mode: When I read out the image from the CD-RW drive, about 5kbyte are missing at the end (and doing several burn, it is always the same amount). Strange enough if I read the DAO burnt disk out by my DVD-ROM, the image can be read out completely! Can you understand this behaviour? I don't think it is a problem of my burner, but rather of the atapi driver?
Is actual data missing at the end? If yes, I'd say this looks a lot more
like a cdrecord problem.
