Re: ahci(4) hang reproduced, this time it was cdrdao scanbus

why do you use cdrdao for writing an audio CD?

This may be a bug in the driver, a driver is not allowed to do retries in case 
that a command was send via SCSI pass through.

Cloning CDs is not really implemented in cdrdao, if you really like to 
clone, use the clone feature from cdrtools:

readcd -clone f=img.out
cdreccord -v -raw96r -clone img.out

but note that there is a quality loss with cloning, I recommend to call this:

cdda2wav -vall cddb=0 -paranoia -Owav -B
cdrecord -v -sao -text -useinfo *.wav

for best quality of a CD-Audio copy.

If you like to see what causes the hang, call:

cdrecord -scanbus -V
