Hi,

after re-reading this diagnosis of the problem by the
author of growisofs
  http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2008/07/msg00092.html
i developed a theory.

I do not want to use up a blank BD-R for growisofs experiments
(selfish as i am).
So the open question is whether this tiny patch prevents the
inappropriate attempt to execute that CLOSE SESSION command:

--- growisofs_mmc_orig.cpp 2013-06-14 19:53:51.000000000 +0200
+++ growisofs_mmc.cpp 2013-06-14 19:55:25.000000000 +0200
@@ -756,6 +756,8 @@ static void bd_r_format (Scsi_Command &c

     wait_for_unit (cmd);

+ bdr_plus_pow = 1;
+
     cmd[0] = 0x35; // FLUSH CACHE
     cmd[9] = 0;
     cmd.transport();

Maybe some Ubuntu expert can convert the patch into an end-user-ready
Ubuntu thingy and maybe some end-user is willing to give it a try
when the next BD-R is about to be written.

Have a nice day :)
