So to avoid this situation set IMMED bit 1 in "blank command" then send to it target. That's a terrible solution. cdrecord should be setting the timeout for the command to a high (or even infinite) value. Maybe it is, in which case, you need to find out why the timer is expiring too soon. More investigation needed to find out why the timer expires so soon rather than this horrible hack. -- Matthew Wilcox Intel Open Source Technology Centre "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours.
