On my FC2 box it works fine. nb. what's the problem with "md5sum /dev/cdrom", since "dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=[number of sectors] | md5sum" works. So obviously the problem is that tries to read past the end of the CD, isn't this information included on the CD, can't this information be used to limit the size of the device? Or is there something I'm not getting that causes end of device I/O errors to be required. (Of course DVD's have a 32KB not 2KB sector size which would screw up md5sum's even if it stopped reading at the end of the device cause ISO images are 2KB multiples, maybe cdrecord should be fixed to auto-pad large images (>1GB) to a multiple of 32KB?)
