[Bug 1113679] [NEW] Close session failed when burning 25gb blu-ray disc

[Richard Bilonick]

Public bug reported:

I create an image burn and then try to use growisofs to burn it to a
25GB blu-ray recordable disc using Ubuntu 13.04 (64-bit).

rick at rick-CT14:~/Downloads$ lsb_release -rd
Description:	Ubuntu Raring Ringtail (development branch)
Release:	13.04
rick at rick-CT14:~/Downloads$ apt-cache policy growisofs
growisofs:
  Installed: 7.1-10build1
  Candidate: 7.1-10build1
  Version table:
 *** 7.1-10build1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I expected to burn a blu-ray 25GB disc without error messages and
without corrupted files. I get a "close session failed" error message
with posssibly corrupted files. Even if the files aren't corrupted, it
is disconcerting.

I followed the procedure outlined by Steve Litt:
http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/blu-ray-backup.htm

# Create empty file
truncate --size=24GB mybr2.udf

# Create udf file system
mkudffs mybr2.udf

# Mount file system
sudo mount -oloop,rw mybr2.udf /mnt/test

# Change ownership
sudo chown rick.rick /mnt/test

# Copy files into the mounted file system

# Unmount file system
sudo umount /dev/loop1

Everything above works as expected without problems.

# Burn to blank blu ray (25GB) empty disc
growisofs -speed=4 -Z /dev/sr0=mybr2.udf

The resulting blu-ray disc has the same total number of bytes as the
file system. I haven't found any bad files on the disc. I've tried using
k3b which "sort of" works but also has problems closing the disc (and in
some cases some files are corrupted or bad). I've used the demo version
of Nero for Linux on the same system - it creates a blu-ray disc without
reporting any errors or problems. I'd rather not have to depend on
proprietary software.
