All: I have begun having difficulty with my DVD-backup that happens every night. It WAS working.. but now I am seeing (on creating my initial backup): *************************************************************** bash-lakerest.net: growisofs -Z /dev/cd0 -R -J backup_init.04-24-2007.gz Executing 'mkisofs -R -J backup_init.04-24-2007.gz | builtin_dd of=/dev/pass0 obs=32k seek=0' 1.49% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:49:25 2007 2.98% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:48:51 2007 4.46% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:48:40 2007 /dev/pass0: "Current Write Speed" is 8.2x1385KBps. 5.95% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 07:01:11 2007 7.43% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:58:50 2007 8.92% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:57:15 2007 10.41% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:56:08 2007 11.90% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:55:18 2007 13.38% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:54:39 2007 14.87% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:54:07 2007 16.35% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:53:42 2007 17.84% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:53:26 2007 19.33% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:53:07 2007 20.82% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:52:51 2007 22.30% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:52:38 2007 23.79% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:52:26 2007 25.27% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:52:15 2007 26.76% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:52:05 2007 28.25% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:57 2007 29.74% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:49 2007 31.22% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:43 2007 32.71% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:36 2007 34.19% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:31 2007 35.68% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:25 2007 37.17% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:20 2007 38.65% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:16 2007 40.14% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:12 2007 41.63% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:10 2007 43.11% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:07 2007 44.60% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:03 2007 46.08% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:51:00 2007 47.57% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:57 2007 49.06% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:54 2007 50.55% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:52 2007 52.03% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:49 2007 53.52% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:47 2007 55.00% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:45 2007 56.49% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:43 2007 57.98% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:41 2007 59.47% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:39 2007 60.95% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:35 2007 62.44% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:34 2007 63.92% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:32 2007 65.41% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:31 2007 66.90% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:29 2007 68.39% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:28 2007 69.87% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:29 2007 71.36% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:29 2007 72.84% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:28 2007 74.33% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:27 2007 75.82% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:25 2007 77.30% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:24 2007 78.79% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:23 2007 80.28% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:21 2007 81.76% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:21 2007 83.25% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:25 2007 84.73% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:30 2007 86.22% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:29 2007 87.71% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:27 2007 89.20% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:26 2007 90.68% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:25 2007 92.17% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:24 2007 93.65% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:23 2007 95.14% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:23 2007 96.63% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:22 2007 98.12% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:21 2007 99.60% done, estimate finish Wed Apr 25 06:50:20 2007 Total translation table size: 0 Total rockridge attributes bytes: 266 Total directory bytes: 0 Path table size(bytes): 10 Max brk space used 3440e4 336353 extents written (656 MB) builtin_dd: 336368*2KB out _at_ average 5.8x1385KBps /dev/pass0: flushing cache :-( unable to TEST UNIT READY: Input/output error :-[ SYNCHRONOUS FLUSH CACHE failed with SK=2h/ASC=04h/ACQ=07h]: Resource temporarily unavailable ********************************************************** And on the console while its progressing: ********************************************************** acd0: FAILURE -

But when I try this on another machine that happens to have a DVD write... I get all the nice messages.. it completes with no errors .. and I can't mount the drive :-( The drive that errors is a SONY.. 'SONY ' 'DVD RW DRU-820A ' '1.0a' Removable CD-ROM On a 7.0 current machine. The one that does not error but does not let me mount things is: 'GENERIC ' 'DVD RW 8XMax ' '140I' Removable CD-ROM On a 6.2 machine. Now it could be that both have failed.. my office is in a barn.. but it just seems strange to me . As anyone else seen these types of errors? should I just replace the drives? Or is there something else broke here?? R -- Randall Stewart NSSTG - Cisco Systems Inc. 803-345-0369 <or> 803-317-4952 (cell)Received on Wed Apr 25 2007 - 08:56:52 UTC
