My setup works without it, successfully burning CDs and DVDs, but has problems with really long commands, and such those which occur when cdrecord(1) finishes a CD burn, and performs its "fixating" step.


Is this just a case of too-short of a SCSI timeout on CLOSE_TRACK?
Drivers I have worked on for this generally apply a 2 minute timeout
for that particular operation, and never have to retry.

I haven't narrowed it down yet. I see the timeout handler kick in, when burning CDs and on one other random occasion. There is clearly a timeout real/expectations mismatch somewhere.
