[Bug 59506] Re: growisofs fails but reports good status

[kornelix]

Paul,

Thanks for writing. Yes, the bug is still there in Ubuntu 7.10.

I never understood the "incomplete" status since I feel I provided 
enough information to verify the bug.

I have characterized it a bit more: growisofs takes output from mkisofs 
or genisoimage and writes to the DVD. The problem is that if mkisofs or 
genisoimage terminate with a bad status, then growisofs also terminates 
and reports a good status.

Try the following: use growisofs to copy a few big files (10+ MB) to a 
DVD. When growisofs begins the first file, delete the last file in the 
list before growisofs gets to it. mkisofs or genisoimage (whichever is 
being used) will abort with an error message like "cannot open xxxx". 
growisofs will terminate with a good status.

I tried also the forked growisofs project called wodim, but it has other 
problems that force me to stay with growisofs for now.

thanks
Mike
