Bug persist form gutsy to intrepid with 2.6.27-11. I used to be able to circumnavigate this using udf-tools (restarting it before each time I inserted a DVD-R) but this stopped working a while ago. what I do get now is an error log: 1. when inserting a DVD-R NOTHING happens (not event a syslog entry) 2. when I try to manually mount I get: [ 352.955616] attempt to access beyond end of device [ 352.955626] sr0: rw=0, want=68, limit=4 [ 352.962786] isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16 3. when I try using 'sudo /etc/init.d/udftools restart' I get: [ 552.245246] WARNING: at /build/buildd/linux-2.6.27/fs/sysfs/dir.c:463 sysfs_add_one+0x4e/0x50() [ 552.245249] sysfs: duplicate filename '254:0' can not be created [ 552.245252] Modules linked in: pktcdvd isofs binfmt_misc radeon drm video output battery wmi sbs sbshc pci_slot container af_packet ipt_REJECT ipt_LOG xt_limit ipt_addrtype xt_state xt_tcpudp xt_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables ipv6 nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_irc nf_nat_ftp nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_conntrack_ftp nf_conntrack iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables ac w83627hf hwmon_vid lp loop gspca_spca561 gspca_main videodev v4l1_compat evdev parport_pc parport serio_raw psmouse snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec button ac97_bus snd_pcm snd_timer snd soundcore iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support snd_page_alloc shpchp pci_hotplug intel_agp pcspkr agpgart ext3 jbd mbcache sd_mod crc_t10dif sr_mod cdrom sg ata_generic ata_piix 8139cp pata_acpi libata scsi_mod dock 8139too mii uhci_hcd ehci_hcd usbcore thermal processor fan fbcon tileblit font bitblit softcursor fuse [ 552.245336] Pid: 5393, comm: pktsetup Tainted: G W 2.6.27-11-generic #1 [ 552.245341] [] warn_slowpath+0x65/0x90 [ 552.245350] [] ? idr_get_empty_slot+0xe2/0x270 [ 552.245357] [] ? ida_get_new_above+0x84/0x1c0 [ 552.245362] [] ? find_inode+0xe/0x70 [ 552.245368] [] ? sysfs_ilookup_test+0x0/0x20 [ 552.245373] [] ? sysfs_ilookup_test+0x0/0x20 [ 552.245377] [] ? strcmp+0x12/0x40 [ 552.245382] [] ? sysfs_find_dirent+0x29/0x40 [ 552.245387] [] ? __sysfs_add_one+0x18/0x90 [ 552.245392] [] sysfs_add_one+0x4e/0x50 [ 552.245396] [] sysfs_do_create_link+0xd9/0x130 [ 552.245401] [] sysfs_create_link+0x17/0x20 [ 552.245405] [] device_add+0x1d9/0x400 [ 552.245411] [] ? sysfs_add_one+0x18/0x50 [ 552.245416] [] device_register+0x17/0x20 [ 552.245420] [] device_create_vargs+0xaa/0xc0 [ 552.245425] [] device_create+0x2d/0x30 [ 552.245433] [] pkt_setup_dev+0x1ef/0x330 [pktcdvd] [ 552.245446] [] pkt_ctl_ioctl+0x15f/0x1f0 [pktcdvd] [ 552.245456] [] vfs_ioctl+0x81/0x90 [ 552.245461] [] ? generic_perform_write_2copy+0x251/0x320 [ 552.245468] [] do_vfs_ioctl+0x66/0x200 [ 552.245472] [] ? cap_file_ioctl+0x8/0x10 [ 552.245479] [] sys_ioctl+0x6b/0x70 [ 552.245483] [] sysenter_do_call+0x12/0x2f [ 552.245488] [] ? generic_perform_write_2copy+0x251/0x320 [ 552.245494] ======================= [ 552.245497] ---[ end trace 516fe9718eb0eae8 ]--- This may just be a udf-tools bug and nothing to do with this problem...
