Growisofs WRITE Errors
Growisofs is a fairly universal DVD writing program for Unix OSs these days. While we were working on an a quick article explaining a few different uses the following error message came up: WRITE@LBA=10h failed with SK=4h/ASC=08h/ACQ=03h.
After a bit of research into why the DVD drive was suddenly rebelling and spitting out errors a solution came from Chalmers University (mirrored below). This error indicates that there's something wrong with the UDMA drive write-out, and indeed there was.
Also:
I recently created a large tgz backup archive (4.2GB) and wanted to burn it to DVD. No problem, I thought, standard DVD's hold 4.7GB. But the Gnome desktop CD/DVD Creator kept silently failing. I jumped down to command line, and tried to manually make an iso image with mkisofs. I kept getting this error:
mkisofs: Value too large for defined data type. File backup.tgz is too large - ignoring
After some digging, I found that mkisofs won't handle files greater than 2GB. There is a workaround, however.
