I recently installed Debian on my system, and have had this problem with cdrecord ever since. I dont know what is causing it because I removed the package, and installed from source, and get the same problem. What happens is every time I try to write a cd, I get an error about the data being too big. This is the output on the version from source, but I get the same error with the packages from Debian. The image in this case is only a 250M image, and should not have this problem at all. Any thoughts on this? cdrecord dev=0,4,0 speed=16 -eject -data cdimage.iso Cdrecord 1.9 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2000 Jörg Schilling scsidev: '0,4,0' scsibus: 0 target: 4 lun: 0 Linux sg driver version: 3.1.19 Using libscg version 'schily-0.1' Device type : Removable CD-ROM Version : 2 Response Format: 2 Capabilities : SYNC Vendor_info : 'YAMAHA ' Identifikation : 'CRW6416S ' Revision : '1.0c' Device seems to be: Generic mmc CD-RW.
