Something very odd is happening with these disks. I get errors, as I

that it doesn't exist.
I just talked about this very subject on the fedora beta list. It seems
if I burn a new cd-rw disk, it seems to work fine. But if I try to
reburn it, it wouldn't do it. I think someone mentioned that they
unmounted it and it still had problems.
I'm fairly sure that I've tracked it down, Mike.
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.

Nice catch!
Which versions of cdrecord and k3b are you using?
Thanks,
John
