Re: growisofs requires rebooting after every burn ?

DMA is turned on by default after each boot.
However the hdparm -w command disabled DMA
and the last successful burn was done without
using DMA. I am not aware of any command line
switches to use DMA and hence don't use it.

Do you use DMA while burning? Are the burned discs "good"? Can you
