Someone told me off-list to try to burn a short iso using cdrecord in a terminal. The command I used was cdrecord dev=/dev/hdd -vvvvvvvv -blank=disc /home/anne/test.iso and it failed. I googled on 'faio_wait_on_buffer for writer timed out' and found that others were complaining of the same problem. Then someone reported that if you split the command into two, it works perfectly, so I did cdrecord -vv dev=/dev/hdd blank=all cdrecord -vv dev=/dev/hdd /home/anne/test.iso and it wrote perfectly - this to a disk that k3b had been totally unable to deal with. It looks as though there is actually a bug in cdrecord, which is causing k3b to fail. Anne
