I just tested a CD on 2.3.99p9. It gave EIO on dd at the end.
Comparing with the image from which it was burnt, I see:
- image has 298204 2048-byte blocks
- cdrom_read_capacity reads toc->capacity = 298206
- consequently, it is not surprising that the kernel tries
to read 8 512-byte sectors past the end and gets errors;
precisely the same ones Jeff reported.
The CD was burnt with cdwrite, I think. Maybe the kernel
and cdwrite have different ideas about toc->capacity.
