DVD burning growisofs Invalid Argument
I can't burn a DVD in Slackware 10.
I'm using the command line in root growisofs
and keep getting an Invalid Argument error.
I have no idea why.
growisofs -speed=1 -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/usr/local/FC/
FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
growisofs then displays the following 3 lines:
builtin_dd if=/usr/local/FC/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
of=/dev/dvd obs=32k seek=0
write failed: Invalid Argument
I have tired different variations of the above, but
nothing works.
dmesg | grep -i atapi shows my cdrom on /dev/hdb
and burner on /dev/hdc
ln -s /dev/hdc /dev/dvd
ls -l /dev/dvd shows /dev/dvd -> /dev/hdc
In fstab I have
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd iso9660 noauto,owner,rw 0 0
Both /mnt/cdrom and /mnt/dvd exist.
The KDE hardware browser shows:
HL-DT-ST CDROM GCR-8520B /dev/hdb
HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10A /dev/hdc
I got the .tgz files from the Linux Packages web site
and installed all pertaining to DVDs.
dvd+rw-tools libdvdcss libdvdnav libdvdread
Anybody got any ideas? I have no idea why this is
not working. Any suggestions would be welcome.

Since K3b uses growisofs under the waterline, you'll probably get the same error there.
What release of Slackware 10? 10.0 10.1 10.2? All you would need to burn a FC5 ISO image is the dvd+rw-tools package which is already part of Slackware 10.x ... so, no need to add any package from Linuxpackages.net. Perhaps these added packages broke something.

I got this from http://linuxcommand.org/man_pages/growisofs1.html
Quote:
EXAMPLES
Actual device names vary from one operating system to another. We use
/dev/dvd as a collective name or as symbolic link to the actual device
if you wish. Under Linux it will most likely be an ide-scsi device
such as "/dev/scd0." Under NetBSD/OpenBSD it has to be a character SCSI
CD-ROM device such as "/dev/rcd0c." Under Solaris it also has to be a
character SCSI/ATAPI CD-ROM device, e.g. "/dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s2" or
"/vol/dev/aliases/cdrom0." And likewise in HP-UX and IRIX...
To master and burn an ISO9660 volume with Joliet and Rock-Ridge exten-
sions on a DVD:
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -R -J /some/files
To append more data to same DVD:
growisofs -M /dev/dvd -R -J /more/files
Make sure to use the same options for both inital burning and following
sessions.
To use growisofs to write a pre-mastered ISO-image to a DVD:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=image.iso
where image.iso represents an arbitrary object in the filesystem, such
as file, named pipe or device entry. Nothing is growing here and com-
mand name is not intuitive in this context.

Yes, that is a verbatim copy/paste of part of the growisofs man page. You can get the same by running "man growisofs", and since Ed_999 used the correct commandline he will surely have read that same page.
Now, what did you intend to point out by pasting that piece of text?
By looking at Google results, the error is likely to have its origin in hardware problems.

in slack-10.0 ,for my dvd-rw to burn a dvd i use my /dev/cdrom entry in /etc/fstab .
I would try burning without the speed option or argument:
growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/cdrom=image.iso .....good luck

The command he tried and the command list in my post are slightly different. The speed=1 option is left out.
If your going to criticize someones post, look a little more closely first.

The "-speed=1" is a failsafe setting, and as such a sensible first thing to do if you experience burn problems of any kind.
Your post merely contained part of a man page with nothing added by yourself - if the pasted text contained anything the original poster should know about, you'd have to make that clear. But you did not. I still don't seem the point of your post.
