As you can see, my drive supports SAO, counted 326,656 sectors, and didn't have an underrun. Without actually booting this disc and doing a media check, I'm going to assume that the burn is good. I should be all set. But when I try to actually do the md5sum on the disc... [root@xxxxxxxx kriderde]# dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=326656 | md5sum - 314323+0 records in 314323+0 records out 4e2fc66c78d566209be2022baebc6db9 - md5sum doesn't even get the number of sectors right. Anyone have any insight here? TIA, dk
