Hi.  I am trying to burn an iso image to a cd (maybe its actually a dvd
disk), and it boots without any errors, and I can mount the iso with the
loop option, but if I try to mount the cd, it complains about ufs file
systems, and if I try to mount with -t iso9660, it just says bad file
type or bad superblock and the disk is unusable.  Nothing interesting in
the logs, it just says the same about ufs and nothing about iso9660.

I am using cdrecord from cdrtools-3.01_alpha28 and I am running the
unstable version of gentoo.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Sorry, I know nothing about standards, optical media and filesystems,
and don't understand how it works, once I had some issues with mounting
optical media, also missing a filesystem which I fixed with enabling
CONFIG_UDF_FS in kernel. I tried to read about UDF... before replying,
but it is too much for me, if I understand it correctly it is not just
what is written to the media but also how (different modes, for adding
more data later ...), so may be some option while burning media that
allows you to use free space left on the disk.
If this is not useful just ignore it. ;-)

Same boat here.  From what I understand, if it is more than 2GBs, it
needs UDF support.  No idea if that applies to ISOs to tho.

But its an iso, and I can mount the .iso via loop, why should it care
about udf support and I think udf is trying to read the cd, because its
apparently not thinking its an iso9660 file system.

OK, I have a bit more info, I managed to burn the CD on another box and
when I tried to mount it using this drive, it gave me in the logs 
May 26 02:41:59 ccs.covici.com kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0,
sector 942680
May 26 02:41:59 ccs.covici.com kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0,
logical block 117835
May 26 02:42:00 ccs.covici.com kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sr0,
sector 942680
May 26 02:42:00 ccs.covici.com kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sr0,
logical block 117835
but it did mount successfully! and I did a diff against the same iso
mounted via -o loop and there were no differences.

There is a CD/DVD guru on here that will likely know what's going wrong,
whether it is a burn issue or a person in the keyboard issue.  Hang
tight.  I'm sure he will be along soon.

There are several possibilities which come to my mind.

Regardless of whether the image can be loop mounted or not, have you
tried to download it again - maybe from another mirror - or have you
checked the MD5 or SHAxxx checksums of the downloaded iso? Maybe the
file is corrupt.

Have you tried to burn it onto another blank DVD from a different
manufacturer? Maybe your blank DVDs don't work well together with your
DVD writer.

Have you checked that you have built every necessary kernel module?
Maybe your missing one like the mentioned UDF module or a hardware
(drive/bus) related module.

I guess with "this drive" you mean the drive in the other box? Otherwise
the drive could be faulty.

Have you checked the cables?

Or in case of a bug in cdrecord, have you tried to downgrade cdrtools?

Just because it is an image file with a .iso extension does not mean it
uses the iso9600 filesystem. DVDs do use UDF. Can you mount it with -t
udf.

What does "isoinfo -d -i /path/to/file.iso" say about it?

I have not checked the hardware, but I did burn the image on another
system with another drive and mounted it with the drive in question and
as I said, even though I got  those errors, the mount was successful.

No, udf says no partition or some such,  and iso-info gives

isoinfo, not iso-info. The former gives more information.

It might be a good test to check with other software?

Hmmm, well I tried this and it was successful, so I wonder what is going
on with cdrecorder?  They had something called stream-record in that
program which I don't know what that means.  Also, I logged in as root
which is normally how I have always burned cds, any way aside from
marking xfburn as suid root which I would prefer not to do to use the
program as a normal user?  I never would have thought this would work,
but I thought I would try and it did function -- I hope George (I think
that is his name) will get on here and enlighten us all.

Also, confirm that a)the downloaded iso file and b)the CD is not corrupt.  For 
the iso file run:

 sha1sum somefile.iso 

and check that it matches the sha1 checksum published at the website.

For the CD run:

 ls -l somefile.iso

to find how big the is file, for example 650,000,000 bytes.  Then run:

 dd if=/dev/sr0 bs=2048 count=650000000 | sha1sum

(This is necessary to exclude any code after the end of the iso content which 
the cdrecord will write on the CD to close the recording session).

Even if a sha1 or md5 hash is not available from the website, you can at least 
compare the two hashes between the iso file and the CD.

So you probably have found a bug in cdrecord. Have you tried to
downgrade cdrtools to check if it works with previous, preferentially
stable releases?

It's usually not necessary to burn a CD as root or give xfburn suid
root. This leads to the next questions. Have you set the correct file
permissions for /dev/sr0 (particularly user and group)? Should be
root:cdrom. And is your user in the corresponding group (usually the
group cdrom)?

OK, thanks I will check, but I did a recursive diff on the iso and the
mounted cd and got no differences.

I was asking because cdrecord gave me all sorts of warnings about  not
being able to lock memory and suggested that I be root when running as a
normal user.

In case it helps:

ls -la /dev/sr0 
brw-rw----+ 1 root cdrom 11, 0 May 26 19:04 /dev/sr0

My desktop user is a member of cdrom and plugdev groups.
