Either the drive or the cdrom driver is storing a "disc size". When I read
from a regular CD-ROM or CD-R the "disc size" gets reset so that the entire
disc is accesible. When I insert a DVD, "disc size" isn't reset and I can
only read up to the length of the last CD read. (For example, if I read
from the Win98 cd, then put in a DVD, I can only read the first 654,526,464
bytes). This is reading directly from the /dev/cdrom device. On the DVD I
actually get an EOF at 654,526,464 bytes. The file system shows files
beyond this point, but an attempt to read them yields an I/O error. I'm not
sure where to look for the problem, but I know it does not lie in the UDF
filesystem driver (as I receive these errors without ever mounting the DVD)
I think the problem is in cdrom.c or ide-cd.c
This is not a problem with CSS, as I am authenticating the disc with the
command "tstdvd /dev/cdrom". Before running this command it is only
possible to read 1 - 10 MB of the disc before receiving an I/O error.
I have the latest cdrom driver patch and UDF patch for my kernel.
I have slackware 7.0, kernel version 2.2.13 and an Acer DVP 1040A (aka
Pioneer 114).
Thanks a lot,

I just got my hands on a Toshiba DVD drive (model
1212 I believe) and experience no problems. This
indicates that the drive is storing the disc
length and failing to reset it for DVD's. I
cannot find anyone else with this same drive under
Linux, so I ask anyone who has an Acer DVP1040A or
Pioneer 114 DVD-ROM drive to see if you get
similar results to what I receive on my system.
If so, I'd appreciate some help patching the cdrom
driver to work around this problem (it works fine
in windows). BTW here's the code that I've been
using to read the drive, but it gets the job done:
http://www2.iastate.edu/~sumbach/charcount.c
This also allows one to test for the problem
without applying the UDF or CDROM patches. You
may need to be root to run the program. After
compiling with gcc charcount.c -o charcount you
can run it on any file (for my tests I used
charcount /dev/cdrom). Please CC my e-mail address
when replying.

Ok, so it authenticates fine at least. I'd like to see the errors that
get dumped to the logs at this point (dmesg), this might not be a
plain I/O error.

Sorry for the verbosity of this message, I just want to make sure you have
all that you need. Also, that "limit=639186" is not dependant on which DVD
I'm trying to read, but does change depending on the last CD I had mounted.
That may be the root of my problem.
In my original message I mentioned a program I wrote to count characters in
a file. What I found was that if I mounted a CD-ROM, and it was 450 MB,
then unmounted the CD and mounted and authenticated a DVD I could read 450MB
from /dev/cdrom and then I received an EOF. This doesn't happen with the
Toshiba drive so that's why I figured it must be in the hardware and was
hoping a work around could be found.

Just out of curiosity, what is that? You need cryptography for your
DVD to work? What is it good for? Why does linux need to know if drive
knows some secret numbers?

DVD disks have a challenge/response unlock mechanism and then (badly)
crypt the data. Thats what the whole DVD decss row is about

It's just a (pretty stupid) authentication sequence. Some DVD's
contain encrypted blocks that the drive will refuse to read, if it
has not been authenticated. Not all DVD's are encrypted though.
And let me just add that the kernel doesn't contain any of the
crypto stuff, it just provides the hooks and acts as a blissfully
ignorant messenger :)

Hmm, makes it look like we're possibly missing a check media change
somewhere... I'll check up on that.

Probably not a hardware bug, but perhaps just a hardware deviation ;)
