[Paranoia] Cdparanoia stuck in blk_execute_rq

[David Wake]

Hi there,

My cdparanoia is cdparanoia-alpha9.8-24.  This error has happened
several times, sometimes with CDs that don't appear to be scratched at
all and play fine (I'm in the processing of ripping my CD collection
to FLAC files).

Please let me know if I can provide any further diagnostic data that
could be helpful.

I also have a CD-RW drive that I could use instead -- I may try that
and see if I get the same errors.

Thanks,
David

   No, you shouldn't ever use ide-scsi with FC3's cdparanoia.

   For what it's worth, I think the my bus reset code in the SG_IO stuff
   that FC3 has is busted, and you're seeing a different error, which then
   causes that code path to be hit.  That first error may or may not be
   legitimate.

   How scratched up is the CD?  cdparanoia is showing rather severe
   problems with the read, and really you've got to have very serious
   problems before it'll ever try to reset the device.  If the CD isn't
   scratched at all, then that means cdparanoia is getting completely bogus
   data back from the kernel or the drive.

   What version of cdparanoia are you using?  cdparanoia-alpha9.8-24.i386.rpm?
