That is because the verify phase of k3b will not wait till the drive has recognized the disk after the eject cycle, so it errors out. I have squawked about that on the k3b bz, to no avail. I have also replaced an otherwise perfectly good dvd writer, no diff. >However, when I mounted the dvd and did a sha1sum of the >files I'd backed up, they matched perfectly the files on >the DVD. I just do one of the whole unmounted disk after calculating how many 2048 block sectors dd should read from the disk and feed to sha1sum.

How the kernel reports the timeout error could have a bearing on it I suppose. >I have certainly done a backup with verify via k3b many >times before under F8 with no problems, but this may be the >first time since fedora 8 got a 2.6.25 kernel. I had trouble long before we got to 2.6.25. The above is my workaround. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
