Hey group,
I am runing FC2 with kernel 2.6.7-1. My system is an Athlon 2800+, 512MB 400MHz DDR and an ATA 133 drive. When I try to burn an audio file with cdrecord, the system becomes very unresponsive while the disk is being burnt. top show only about 2% CPU usage, yet the mouse is very jerky and doing any tasks during the burn are very, very slow (normally the system is very fast).
I have a dual boot with winders XP, and if I burn an audio CD under windows, there is no system resonse problems at all and I am able to do other tasks during the burn.
The cdrecord command I use is:
cdrecord -eject -v -pad -audio -dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdc -speed=40 file.wav
Here is the info on the DVDRW drive:
jim@keelie $ hdparm -i /dev/hdc
/dev/hdc:
Model=LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-451S, FwRev=GSB6, SerialNo=
