I reverted my change, added this one. I didn't reboot, I just unloaded and loaded this one. Note: /dev/sr1 as seen from the initiator is /dev/sr0 (physical disc) on the target. Doesn't crash, however on the initiator I see this: [9273849.707777] ISO 9660 Extensions: RRIP_1991A [9273863.359718] scsi_io_completion: 13 callbacks suppressed [9273863.359788] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 [9273863.359909] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 Sense Key : 0x2 [current] [9273863.359974] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 ASC=0x8 ASCQ=0x0 [9273863.360036] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 22 f6 96 00 00 80 00 [9273863.360116] blk_update_request: 13 callbacks suppressed [9273863.360177] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr1, sector 9165400 [9273875.864648] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 UNKNOWN(0x2003) Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08 [9273875.864738] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 Sense Key : 0x2 [current] [9273875.864801] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 ASC=0x8 ASCQ=0x0 [9273875.864890] sr 26:0:0:0: [sr1] tag#1 CDB: opcode=0x28 28 00 00 22 f7 16 00 00 80 00 [9273875.864971] blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sr1, sector 9165912 To cause this, I mounted the dvd as seen in the first line and ran this command: find /cdrom2 -type f | xargs -tn1 cat > /dev/null I did some various tests.
