But letting the drive hang on open with the need for power-off seems to be a drastic reaction. > It doesn't really matter what program I use, everything > hangs as soon as it tries to do the first open. Even dvd+rw-mediainfo and xorriso ? I would be interested to see the very verbous output of xorriso -scsi_log on -outdev /dev/sr0 -toc 2>&1 | tee -i /tmp/xorriso.log It will be quite short if already open(2) fails. But in case of region resctrictions, i'd expect it to refuse on the first READ command. Maybe the SCSI error codes can tell when it bails out and whether it becomes incommunicado then. If /tmp/xorriso.log is long (one or two dozen KB) then send it to my mail address directly. I will then report what it tells me. If it is short, please post it here. Have a nice day :) Thomas _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
